Paul Weeden

Paul Weeden is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation and depression. He also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns and anger, and he accepts international clients.

He aims to offer an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Paul uses simple breathing and relaxation exercises to help with stress and overwhelm. He encourages practical changes to daily routines and hobbies to support wellbeing.

Paul works with people on career and life transitions, and with parents and high-school aged young people to plan and manage study and routine. He talks through practical steps for coping with separation, lifestyle changes and the pressures of work or school.

His approach draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses mindfulness techniques and solution-focused conversations to identify small, achievable goals.

Sessions often involve discussing what is most important to the person, trying out breathing or relaxation tools, and creating simple plans to change daily habits. Paul believes lifestyle shifts are part of lasting progress and collaborates on realistic next steps.

How Paul uses talking plus practical tools online

Paul often combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can discover their own solutions; this helps when someone needs to talk through strong emotions like anger or grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and provides simple steps to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and anger management. Mindfulness Therapy uses basic breathing and attention exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus, and it pairs well with the relaxation techniques he teaches.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods together. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions are paced, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use therapy alongside work or study. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt breathing exercises, CBT tasks and solution-focused steps to an online setting to keep progress practical and manageable.
