About Paul
Paul Weeden is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on practical issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career difficulties and depression. He also addresses addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strains and ADHD-related difficulties.
Paul works in a straightforward way. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try different responses, and build better routines. He shares breathing and relaxation techniques to reduce overwhelm and to support calmer thinking.
He also supports people dealing with life transitions such as separation, divorce and changes in routine. He helps with everyday problems like balancing work and personal life, planning academic work, and managing motivation and confidence. He encourages practical lifestyle adjustments alongside talking work.
Sessions aim to combine short-term steps with longer-term change. Paul draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and on client-centred and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical. He also uses mindfulness-based exercises and psychodynamic perspectives when they help clarify patterns.
Paul’s approach is goal-orientated and hands-on. He offers tools and small experiments to try between sessions. He supports people to develop habits and creative interests that make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
Approach and practical online therapy
Paul commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods in his work. CBT is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to change feelings and behaviour. Client-centred work focuses on what matters to the person in the room and on clear, practical goals he can help set.He also draws on mindfulness-based techniques to teach simple breathing and relaxation exercises. These practices are used to reduce stress and help with concentration, sleep and emotional regulation. Together these approaches aim to give short, concrete tools and clearer ways to handle day-to-day problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree a plan. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins and let people use audio-only or quieter arrangements when camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible arrangements to help therapy fit everyday life.
