About Paul
Paul Weeden is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career worries and depression, and addresses relationship and family concerns including blended family issues. He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, sleep problems and coping with life changes.
He uses practical exercises and simple breathing and relaxation techniques to help reduce overwhelm. Sessions include talking through current problems, reviewing daily routines and building small lifestyle changes that make a difference. He encourages clearer boundaries between work and home and helps clients find activities that restore energy and focus.
Paul pays attention to how past experiences affect present behaviour. He draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive approaches to challenge unhelpful thinking. That mix helps people make short-term changes while also looking at deeper patterns that repeat in relationships and self-image.
For parents and people connected to adolescents he offers support around separation, routine changes and academic planning, described in plain terms and practical steps. He also works with people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and neurodiversity-related challenges including autism and Asperger syndrome.
Sessions are straightforward and focused. Paul aims to help people organise steps they can try between meetings, review what worked, and adjust plans. He accepts international clients and works in English.
How Paul combines therapeutic approaches for online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. It is about reflecting what someone says, helping them identify their own goals and making decisions that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. These methods can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship tension.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paul treats this as a collaborative task and will discuss options with the client so they can pick methods that match their goals and preferences. He balances short-term problem solving with attention to longer-standing patterns when that seems useful.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and to have a shorter check-in when time is limited. It can also reduce travel time and allow clients to practise techniques learned in sessions in their daily routines. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, adapt online work to suit practical needs and session goals.
