About Paul
Paul Weeden is a counsellor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. He welcomes conversations about career concerns, addictions, grief and difficulties with intimacy or relationships. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find clearer routines and coping strategies that fit everyday life.
Paul creates a calm space where clients can speak without judgement. He shares simple breathing and relaxation techniques that people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Practical changes to sleep, work-life balance and daily habits are often part of the work together. He uses a range of approaches including somatic methods that bring attention to the body, client-centred listening that follows what matters to the person, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
These methods are woven together to suit each person rather than applied as a fixed package. Paul has supported people through separation, parenting strain, academic pressure for school-aged young people, and the stresses of caring roles or burnout. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, body image, and addiction-related issues.
Practical coaching elements are included when helpful, for example planning, building routine, and re-engaging with meaningful interests. The aim is to empower people to make steady changes that improve daily life and wellbeing.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Paul blends somatic therapy, client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural ideas into online work. Somatic therapy brings attention to physical sensations and simple body-based tools to help reduce tension and stress, which can be practised during video or phone sessions. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person, creating space for honest reflection and pacing the work around the client's needs. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to improve mood and routines.Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and decide together which approaches to try. That collaborative planning helps ensure the methods suit daily life and the issues being addressed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and geographical limits. They also allow practical exercises, relaxation practices and routine planning to be practised and reviewed between meetings, offering flexibility and continuity of support.
