About Paul

Paul Kemp is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, depression, compassion fatigue, coping with life changes and coaching. Paul works in English and does not accept international clients.

Paul aims to help people talk through day-to-day pressures and major life transitions. He offers a straightforward, conversational style that centres the person’s experience. Sessions are intended to be a place to name what feels difficult and to look at practical ways forward.

He uses several therapeutic approaches, including client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective, existential ideas that look at meaning and choice, and mindfulness practices to manage present-moment distress. He also draws on narrative work to reframe personal stories and Internal Family Systems ideas to notice different parts of oneself.

Paul notes he does not provide support for addiction issues, compulsive sexual behaviours, or other psychosexual problems. That limitation is part of how he defines the boundaries of his practice.

His way of working involves listening, asking clarifying questions and co-creating steps that a person can try between sessions. He encourages practical strategies alongside reflective conversation.

How Paul integrates approaches for remote sessions

Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. It involves open questions, reflecting what a person says, and following the issues they bring. This helps with stress, anxiety and decisions about work or life changes.

Existential ideas focus on meaning, responsibility and choice. They ask what matters to a person and how they want to live, which can be useful for career concerns, grief and low mood. Mindfulness practice trains noticing thoughts and sensations without getting pulled into them, which helps with anxiety and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Paul will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. He aims to try practical steps alongside reflective conversation so the client and therapist can judge what helps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to offer flexible scheduling that suits everyday life.
