Paul Hunt offers a calm, straightforward place to begin when life feels heavy or confusing. He meets people where they are and focuses on what matters most to them. He aims to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, grief, or changes in life circumstances.

He uses simple, practical conversations to help clients name and make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are grounded in attentive listening and a collaborative rhythm where the client sets the pace.

Background and approach

Paul draws on Client-Centred approaches and cognitive techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. His background includes three years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is noted as part of his professional standing.

Paul works online by video, phone, live chat or messaging so sessions can fit into busy lives. People come to him for a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, intimacy-related issues and career stress. He also offers support around eating, sleeping and managing anger.

He aims to treat each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis. In session he takes a warm, down-to-earth approach and encourages people to speak openly without pressure. The focus is practical: clearer thinking, better coping, and small steps that feel manageable.

Those who are curious about therapy are invited to start with a short conversation to see if it feels like a good fit.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to explore feelings without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers simple experiments to test different ways of thinking. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and repeating patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when useful; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or the session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who want brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or other commitments.
