Online sessions with a client-centered focus
Paul offers online appointments that emphasize a client-centered style, where the therapist’s role is to listen attentively, reflect understanding, and follow the client’s priorities. This approach seeks to create an empathic, non-judgmental environment so that clients can explore emotions and patterns and find their own insights and next steps.In practice Paul uses open-ended reflection, active listening, and collaborative goal-setting to address issues such as anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are structured around the client’s pace and aims; the counsellor supports exploration rather than directing outcomes. This can suit people who want an exploratory, supportive space to process difficult experiences and build coping skills.
