About Paul

Counsellor (BACP), 15 years' experience. Paul Weeden helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career issues, depression and addiction concerns. He also supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, and life changes.

Paul works in plain, practical ways. He listens and then uses methods like talking therapies, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. He talks through day-to-day routines and habits, and helps clients try small changes that can make life feel more manageable. He also encourages clearer boundaries between work and personal life and supports rebuilding daily routines and meaningful interests.

His background includes extensive practice in the UK and a focus on helping high-school-aged young people and parents with separation, routine changes and academic planning. He draws on a mix of client-centred, cognitive behavioural, mindfulness, psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to match different needs.

Sessions include skill-based elements such as relaxation training and planning practical steps for behaviour change. Paul frames lifestyle changes as part of the therapeutic work and explains techniques in straightforward language. He aims to help people cope better with overwhelm and to find clearer ways forward.

Paul works in English and is able to see international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and stress management.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will help identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises and short skills practice between sessions as suited to their needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video and flexible scheduling to help maintain continuity of care.
