Paul Weeden

Paul Weeden, BACP, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. He speaks plainly and offers practical steps so people can start feeling steadier. He works with adults on issues such as depression, career difficulties, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Sessions also cover parenting strain, grief, sleeping problems and coping with compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Paul has 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what is worrying them. He shares breathing and relaxation techniques and encourages better routines to reduce overwhelm.

His approach blends talking therapies with practical planning. He uses client-centred methods to focus on what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas help people change stressful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and mind.

Paul also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they suit someone’s needs. This might mean looking at patterns from the past or setting clear, short-term goals. He supports people to find creative, meaningful interests and healthier daily habits.

Overall, Paul aims to empower people to manage change and build routines that support wellbeing. He encourages small steps that fit into everyday life and helps clients to keep going when things feel hard.

Approaches that suit online work and everyday life

Paul often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on what matters to the person and are paced around their needs. This approach helps when someone wants listening, understanding and support to find their own solutions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress because it gives clear steps people can try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then agree a way of working together. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps someone feel more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact and continue progress between sessions.
