Paul Weeden, BACP

Paul Weeden is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people deal with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and career worries. He works with people facing depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems and anger. Paul also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. He uses straightforward techniques such as breathing and relaxation to help with overwhelm.

Paul learns about each person's daily routine and habits and looks for small changes that make life easier. He encourages healthier work-life balance and helps people build meaningful interests and habits. Sessions focus on talking things through and practising techniques that can be used at home.

With 15 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Paul brings a calm, supportive presence to sessions. He aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. This helps people take the first steps towards change.

Paul draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness ideas, to suit individual needs. He also uses elements from psychodynamic and solution-focused ways of working when helpful. The emphasis is on practical changes to everyday habits alongside thinking differently about problems.

He has experience supporting parents and high-school aged young people with separation, routine changes and planning academic work. Paul accepts international clients and works in English. To start, people use the site questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that fit into everyday life

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs, creating space to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgement. It helps when someone needs time to understand their own priorities and values.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thinking patterns affect mood and behaviour and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and improve focus in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and everyday routines and then try methods that match those needs. Choices are made together and reviewed as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, make it easier to attend after work or school, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited.
