Natasha Hargreaves

I had the pleasure of having my therapy with Paul to help me with anxiety and low confidence. I got to a point where I felt overwhelmed and became terribly distracted. Paul helped me to take a step back and look at my life from the outside - in rather than experiencing my day to day life from my internal bubble. The CBT sessions helped me to learn how to challenge how my mind interpreted events in my life and make behavioural changes that had a massive impact on my wellbeing.

I often found myself reacting negatively to situations which resulted in anger outbursts. I would react defensively in conversations which had a negative impact on my relationships. Paul helped me to learn how to recognise my anger triggers and use mindfulness to soothe the tense feelings I experience. He also taught me how to challenge my thoughts which has helped me immensely. 

Jessica and Simon Matthews

On Paul’s website we saw that he provided therapy for couples who experienced communication problems. That was us! Previously we could talk about anything but the pressures of parenthood changed that and it felt we were constantly not seeing eye to eye. We soon learned, as Paul taught us, that when there was a conversation to be had there can only be one talker and one listener. This helped us immensely to stop mis-communication and happy now that we can manage some of the difficulties that come our way calmer and more rationally. 

Stephanie Baldwin

Paul was able to help me manage my emotions better. I would tend to have high expectations and when they invariably were not met I’d become difficult, become irritable and eventually get angry. My sessions with Paul helped me rationalise my expectations and the mindfulness exercises really helped me live more in the moment. Not only did I begin to feel better in myself but my relationship with my husband improved too. The remote Zoom sessions proved to be an effective means to receive my therapy. There were many times where I was grateful that I didn’t have to get in the car to travel for my sessions. 

Marisha and David Jones

We got to a difficult stage in our relationship where communication got problematic. We sometimes found it difficult to have discussions without conflict and lost the ability to show empathy towards each other. Paul’s patience and skill helped us learn to listen to and understand each other with empathy. Our day to day life together has improved more than we could have wished for. As we worked late and Paul coming highly recommended, being able to have weekend Zoom sessions were invaluable for us to be able to have therapy with Paul. 

Stephen and Belinda Parfitt

We had counselling previously but we always came away worse than when we went in. We would argue and very often the therapist would leave us get on with it. It was said to observe how we interacted with each other. This didn't work for us. We connected well with Paul. He was friendly and welcoming and helped us to focus on our relationship rather than too much on our gripes. We are grateful that we found Paul. It seemed like we were going to split up but thankfully we are still together and thank Paul for his invaluable input.

Michael Jenkins

I had always been a bit short tempered with people especially when I thought they had a negative opinion of me or when I was feeling judged. Paul once said that the world doesn’t revolve around me and that hit home. Paul helped me recognise that people weren’t deliberately setting out to make me feel bad and the CBT sessions helped me to recognise my triggers and change how I reacted to them.

Jayne and Nick Barton

My sister had previously had therapy with Paul but I lived 100 miles from his location so I was delighted that we could have remote sessions as I wanted to have our marriage therapy sessions with him. We had become stuck in our relationship and Paul explained that many couples lose the friendship in their relationship due to busy lifestyles and parenthood. Paul helped us to re-connect, to notice each other more and develop improved quality time together. We are so happy that Paul was able to offer his services by Zoom remotely and help us improve our marriage. 

Pete Rolland

I initially approached Paul for anger management I found the sessions great and I was able to control my negative feelings effectively. From there he helped me and wife learn how to communicate better as we had developed too many bad habits over the years. 

Nicola and Alex Adams

We had become extremely disconnected during the years our children were growing up and got to the point we were living separate lives. We tried many times to talk about it but solutions were never found. What we really needed was to learn how to talk about how we were feeling and our sessions with Paul helped us with it. As Paul said, "I am going to help you develop the tools and then you'll be able to talk about anything". He was right. We can now discuss situations with empathy and understanding and the elusive solutions can now be found.
