About Paul
Paul Phillips NCPS is a counsellor who aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with addiction. He speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can say what matters most. Paul offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult emotions and decide what to try next.
He adapts his approach to each person rather than using one single method. Sessions may focus on practical steps to ease anxiety and low mood. They can also look at past experiences that still feel painful and get in the way of moving forward.
With six years in the field, Paul draws on a mix of talking styles to meet different needs. He uses Client-Centred work to follow what the client wants to focus on. He also offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals.
Paul mentions experience with a wide range of issues including grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and struggles linked to gender and sexuality. He also lists support for addiction, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Sessions are provided from the United Kingdom and are delivered in English. Paul notes that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are invited to use the site Start Therapy button and a short questionnaire to begin the matching process.
How these approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s priorities and pace. The therapist listens closely and helps you find your own path, which can be useful for concerns like low self-esteem or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests small practical changes. It often suits anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, check the available session options before booking. The biography notes Paul offers virtual counselling sessions, and using online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties, work breaks or travel. Online sessions can also allow brief check-ins, phone-style conversations when bandwidth is limited, or longer video meetings when a fuller conversation is needed. Confirm the exact formats and schedule when you book so sessions suit your everyday life.
