Paul Hunt
A warm counsellor who listens and helps you move forward
About Paul
Paul Hunt welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life’s pressures. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and gives space to talk about what matters most. Paul writes plainly and listens without judgment so people can say things they haven’t felt able to before.
He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with career difficulties, parenting strains, burnout and trauma. Paul focuses on the person rather than a diagnosis, helping them find practical ways forward. Paul uses client-centred conversations alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices.
Sessions are shaped by what each person needs, whether that is making sense of thoughts, building new habits, or learning calming skills. He also draws on existential questions to help people find meaning and motivation. He holds a BACP credential, which means he is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Paul has three years of professional experience and offers sessions from the United Kingdom. All work is carried out in English. People meet him online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
He aims for a warm, down-to-earth tone and practical steps that fit everyday life. If someone is curious or unsure, Paul helps them figure out where to begin and what might help next.

How Paul’s methods work online
Paul blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people understand their thoughts and try out new ways of coping. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel heard, which can reduce pressure and make it easier to talk. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to arrange regular sessions and keep continuity of care across life changes.
