About me

Are you feeling overwhelmed by grief, stuck in anxiety, or struggling to cope with a major life change? My aim is to help you move forward from emotional distress as quickly as possible. As a compassionate and approachable Human Given therapist, I work collaboratively with you to identify what is missing in your life and provide you with the practical tools needed to quickly feel better and regain your confidence.

My therapeutic practice is deeply enriched by my work in a hospice supporting patients with a life-limiting disease and their loved ones by providing emotional, practical, and financial support. I have a particular interest in pre- and post-bereavement support, helping people to navigate the complex landscape of grief with sensitivity, dignity, and clarity.

I offer a calm, confidential space for sessions both online and in-person at my practice in West Mersea. I have a good understanding of neurodiversity and am committed to tailoring both my sessions and the therapeutic environment to meet your specific needs. For those who find movement helpful, ‘Walk & Talk’ sessions are available upon request in the West Mersea area.

Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. I offer a free 15-minute initial call so we can discuss your needs and I can answer any questions you may have. Please get in touch by email or phone to arrange a time for us to talk.

Testimonials

"I wanted to express my thanks for all the support and guidance you have provided me during my recent period of anxiety, low mood etc. Your understanding and expertise have made a significant difference in my life, and I truly appreciate everything you’ve done to help me feel better again."

Andy (anxiety & low-mood)

"I can’t thank Paul enough for helping me overcome my lifelong phobia of deep water. I honestly thought it would take months—if not years—to shift such a deeply rooted fear, but after my time with Paul, I noticed a remarkable difference.
His calm, reassuring presence immediately put me at ease, and I felt safe and understood throughout the entire process. Paul created a space where I could face my fear without feeling overwhelmed or judged, and his approach was both gentle and incredibly effective.
What felt impossible before now feels completely manageable—and even exciting. I still can’t quite believe how quickly things changed, and I’m so grateful to Paul for guiding me through it with such care and professionalism.
I would highly recommend Paul to anyone struggling with a phobia—you don’t have to live with it!"
