About Paul
Paul Hunt offers calm, practical support for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. He uses simple, direct listening so clients can say what matters in their own words. Paul knows starting therapy can feel daunting and aims to make that first step easier.
He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. He also helps with grief, career strain, addictions, sleeping and eating concerns, and caring-related stress.
How Paul works
Paul pays attention to intimacy, attachment and issues such as abandonment and communication problems. Paul draws on a mix of talking approaches to match what a person needs in the room. He uses client-centred work that follows the person’s lead and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques help with staying present and building motivation for change. Paul is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, described as BACP. He has three years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online in a range of formats. His style is warm and down to earth. He aims to create a space where people can take a breath and begin to name what’s been hard.
The focus is on meeting practical needs and making steady, manageable changes. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to his schedule. Therapy uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Paul uses client-centred work that follows the person’s pace and priorities, creating space to speak and be listened to without pressure. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity and a trusting conversation about what feels hard.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and trying small, practical experiments to change how people feel and act. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems where thinking and behaviour interact.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Paul collaborates with each person to decide what feels most useful, adjusting as goals and needs change. The aim is to work together so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different places, phone sessions work well if video is difficult, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or other commitments, and they let therapists and clients try different ways of meeting that suit practical needs.
