About Paul

Paul Kemp works with stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, depression, compassion fatigue and life changes using client-centred and narrative approaches. He describes his way of working as collaborative and respectful. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years' professional experience.

Paul aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and make sense of challenging situations. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings. He makes time to listen and to reflect back what he hears, so clients can spot patterns and consider different options.

He uses client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. Narrative techniques are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to identify alternative ways of understanding problems. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with concentrating and managing stress.

Paul also draws on existential ideas to discuss meaning, choice and responsibility when people face big life decisions or losses. Internal Family Systems approaches may be used to understand conflicted or hurt parts of a person's inner life. These approaches are used together to suit the issues presented.

He notes that he does not offer support for addiction, compulsive sexual behaviours or other psychosexual issues. Sessions are conducted in English and he works from the United Kingdom. Paul uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Paul uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Paul draws on client-centred therapy, which places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on understanding feelings and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to clarify thoughts and make decisions.

He also uses narrative therapy to look at the stories people tell about their lives and problems. That can help people see alternative perspectives and reframe difficult events. Mindfulness practices are offered to build attention and reduce everyday stress through simple breathing and awareness exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what best fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as the work develops.

Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time, making it easier to attend between commitments, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to make therapy more manageable alongside work and family life.
