As a therapist, Paul can help you recognise inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations you may face more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. Therapy can help in treating depression, anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), OCD and phobias. It can also benefit those who wish to manage stressful life situations and address emotional challenges such as coping with grief or loss, coping with a medical illness, resolving relationship conflicts and overcoming trauma related to abuse or violence. Coaching helps you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purposeful action. It supports you in understanding where you are, where you want to be, and what might be getting in the way. Most importantly, it equips you with practical tools and insight so you can create meaningful, lasting change in your life. Paul integrates his skills, based on the client’s needs.
