Client reviews

I couldn't recommend Paul highly enough. He's an excellent and highly empathetic Psychologist. I started working with Paul over two years ago and in that time with his guidance I've successfully navigated through a very difficult, anxiety fuelled moment. With his help I now have the tools and confidence going forwards to deal with stressors that used to cause me significant anxiety and disfunction.

Paul has had an extremely positive impact on my life. Paul listens without judgement, has a very calm demeanour and is very easy to talk to. Paul takes time to understand where I am at, and has helped me develop and open up and talk through problems. From having therapy with Paul and continuing to do so, I have a toolkit which I can use in a number of scenarios. Paul is professional yet compassionate and understanding. I would definitely recommend Paul to anybody.

Alex Kalli

Paul has had such a positive impact on my life, after trying four different therapists after a bereavement I feel so lucky to have found Paul. I have seen him for different struggles over the years and he always meet them with such kindness, calmness and has helped me so much.

Phoebe Gaydon

I can highly recommend speaking with Paul. He helped me a great deal in understanding my anxieties and dealing with them day to day.

David Inskip

I came to Paul after a significant physical trauma incident..I didn't know what to expect but Paul was very quick to gain my trust with his calm manner and listening skills - it was very easy to open up. He took me on a journey and with patience we both began to see positive changes. His approach has also allowed me to integrate the techniques into all areas of my day to day life and even help my friends when they come to me for advice. I'm really proud of the progress made and I genuinely believe Paul cares for my wellbeing. Paul is very organised and led me through each stage of rehabilitation tailoring to my needs. I would thoroughly recommend Paul's expertise..

Jason Jacobs

Paul changed my life for the better. I entered into therapy ready to do the work, and with his guidance I did just that. His professional but empathetic approach helped coach me through our sessions, and the tools he used, I still use today, which are invaluable. It wasn't easy, and taking responsibility for my own dysfunction or reactiveness was part of the process, but my god was it worth it. I have healthier relationships with the people in my life and my internal narrative is self approving and nurturing. I wouldnt be in the same healthy, happy space if I hadnt entered into therapy and I owe a huge part of my healing to Paul.

Becci Tummon

Very positive experience. Paul was great at helping me rationalise my thoughts and build up a really useful toolkit through CBT.

George

When looking for a therapist I find it's so important to find someone who takes the time to really listen. Paul was a really friendly therapist and helped a lot with certain areas I had been struggling with for quite some time. Even though it was fairly difficult to deal with, the approach Paul took really helped. Fully recommend his services

Getting therapy right
