About Paul
Paul Weeden is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and depression. He also offers coaching-style support for addictions, relationship strain, grief and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Paul focuses on practical steps people can use straight away. He talks through daily routines, sleep, work-life balance and small habits that affect mood. He teaches breathing and simple relaxation techniques to manage overwhelm. He encourages clients to reintroduce creative or meaningful interests as part of recovery.
His approach combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. That means conversations that prioritise the client's perspective alongside practical strategies and short-term goals. He uses parts of psychodynamic and mindfulness work when helpful, to look at patterns and build present-moment coping skills.
Paul has worked with parents and high-school-aged young people on separation, routine changes and planning academic work. He helps individuals facing anger, intimacy-related issues, ADHD-related concerns and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with bereavement, family problems and substance use challenges.
People who prefer straightforward, down-to-earth sessions tend to find his style useful. He asks about daily life and helps set small, realistic steps. If you are unsure whether this approach fits, the initial session is used to agree goals and a way forward.
How Paul brings therapeutic approaches to online sessions
Paul blends Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused work in a practical way. Client-Centred Therapy means the therapist listens closely to the person's concerns and reflects them back to help clarify what matters. CBT involves identifying patterns of thought and behaviour and testing small changes to improve mood and daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific, achievable goals and short-term steps to move forward.Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Paul will discuss what you want to change and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. He checks in about what is helpful and adjusts the approach over time so the work stays relevant to your needs.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make some techniques, such as guided breathing and behavioural planning, simpler to practise between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to help people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
