About me

My name is Paul and I am a dedicated therapist specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). With additional expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), my approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with. I specialise in working with OCD, PTSD, depression, GAD, health anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety and perinatal related issues (Mothers, Fathers and co-parents). I understand that reaching out for support can be challenging, but you're not alone. I bring a deep sense of empathy to my practice, recognising the complex and often overwhelming experiences that accompany anxiety, depression, and addiction-related challenges. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, I am here to help you. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we can work to reduce the impact of your struggles, helping you gain control and move towards a more fulfilling life. If you are ready to take the first step towards change, please don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s explore how we can work together to achieve your goals and aspirations.
