About Paul
Paul Kemp is a counsellor with four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which reflects his professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Paul focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, career concerns, depression, compassion fatigue and life changes.
Paul aims to create a calm, open atmosphere where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings. He uses plain language and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are presented as a place to think things through and try new ways of responding to stress. In practice Paul blends several approaches to match what a client needs. He draws on client-centred ideas to keep conversations grounded in the person’s priorities.
Narrative work helps people reframe difficult stories, while mindfulness offers practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings. Paul also uses elements of existential thinking to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at different parts of the self and their roles.
These methods are used to tackle specific problems like work stress, burnout and grief as well as broader questions about direction and purpose. He is clear about boundaries and about areas he does not offer support for, and he will discuss fit and pathways forward at the start of work.
People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical tools often find his style approachable.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions offer time to talk things through and to have the therapist reflect back what matters most to you. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and priorities.Mindfulness Therapy brings short, practical exercises to reduce overwhelming emotions. In an online session Paul can guide breathing or grounding exercises, and suggest small practices to use between meetings. These tools are useful for stress, anxiety and moments of strong emotion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paul will talk about options and tailor methods to match a person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That conversation is collaborative and may change as needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments.
