How Paul works
He has worked on clinical teams and has run a solo practice for several years. That mix gives him familiarity with both coordinated care and one-on-one work. Paul uses a range of well-established approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Existential ideas.
He aims to match techniques to what each person needs, focusing on clear skills like emotional regulation, values clarification, and behavior change. Outside clinical work he is a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach with training in nutrition and physical wellbeing. He also offers business coaching to help people improve work life and career transitions.
These practical interests feed into a collaborative, goal-oriented style. People who come to Paul often want straightforward help with mood, identity-related stress, grief, parenting strains, or coping with life changes. He accepts international clients and works in English, bringing a calm, direct approach to guiding someone through difficult moments.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and building small behavior changes that align with those values. It helps when people feel stuck by worry, low mood, or conflicting priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often reduces anxiety and improves mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and how you respond to different methods. That way choices about ACT, CBT, or client-centered techniques are made collaboratively and adjusted over time to fit your needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you meet face to face for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching tips, or shorter updates between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
