About Paul
Paul Hunt welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. He writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients name what feels hard and work out small, practical steps forward. He aims to make the first sessions calm and clear so people can decide what they want from therapy.
Paul works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, addictions and the challenges of living with ADHD and neurodiversity.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing parenting stresses, career strain, trauma and intimacy issues. LGBT concerns are listed among his areas of focus. Paul trained as an integrative counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He describes his style as warm, down to earth and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to create space to speak honestly and to be heard without pressure. In practice he draws on approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential thinking and mindfulness.
That means sessions can include listening, reflective conversations and practical exercises to try between meetings. He also uses motivational interviewing ideas to help people clarify values and take steps towards change. People often find it easier to talk with him than they expected.
Paul says he tries to be fully present and to help clients untangle feelings that have been hidden for a long time. If someone is curious or ready to begin, he asks them to start with the brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How his approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It helps people feel understood, name difficult feelings and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions are linked and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and managing stress in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they agree ways of working and can try different methods to see what fits best, making adjustments as therapy progresses.
The therapist's biography does not list explicit session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around family, work and travel commitments, for shorter check-ins when needed, or when face-to-face travel is difficult. Online work can still include reflective conversation, behavioural tasks to try between meetings and mindfulness practices adapted for remote sessions.
