How Paul works
Conversations are framed around what the person wants to change and what matters to them. The counsellor uses listening, reflective questions and gentle challenge to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Paul Anne draws on several approaches to suit each person's needs, including narrative work to make sense of life stories and trauma-focused methods to address painful memories.
Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change habits or behaviours. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, values and life choices. She has practised for 11 years across a range of settings and has experience with concerns such as family of origin issues, first responder issues, chronic illness and codependency.
Her background also includes work with LGBT concerns, communication and commitment issues, and compassion fatigue. People who choose this counsellor can expect practical skills alongside reflective conversation. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, steadier coping, and more workable ways to live with difficult feelings.
Paul Anne’s approach is respectful of cultural background and personal values.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Paul Anne uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and making the person’s concerns the priority. This approach helps people feel heard and gradually clarify what they want to change in their life.She also uses narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This can be useful for issues like self-esteem, identity, relationship patterns and understanding the impact of past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide collaboratively what fits the person’s goals, preferences and current situation. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for shorter reflections or times when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it more flexible to schedule therapy around work, family commitments or varied routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to the online format so people can access consistent, regular support without travelling.
