About Paul
Paul Kitson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and work-related concerns. He has three years of experience and brings a calm, patient manner to sessions. He offers straightforward support for people feeling stuck or facing big life changes.
He creates a non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly about what matters most to them. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping the person identify small, practical steps forward.
How Paul works
Conversations are plain and direct rather than full of jargon. Paul uses a client-centred approach, which means the conversation is guided by the client’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s pace and helps them name feelings and choices.
This method often suits people dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship strain and struggles with self-worth. He also supports people with career concerns, family stress, anger and attention difficulties such as ADHD. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Paul is comfortable addressing issues like forgiveness, jealousy and life-purpose questions. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged online by subscription. The aim is to help people notice what is getting in the way, try new ways of coping, and build on what already works for them.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what the client says, and helps them find their own answers. This approach often helps with anxiety, grief, relationship strain and low self-esteem by making space to name feelings and choices rather than imposing solutions.Paul’s practice places the client’s voice at the centre of planning. He will work with each person to decide what matters most and adapt the approach as needs and goals change. Deciding on the right way forward is a collaborative process involving both the client and the counsellor.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and tend to need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into work, family and daily life.
