Paul Currie, BACP

Paul Currie recognises that life often includes seasons that feel confusing, overwhelming and painful. Rather than forcing problems aside or trying to outwork distress, he believes those struggles frequently need direct attention, care and a route toward healing. In his view, confronting difficulty can be a source of growth, helping people become stronger, more compassionate and more effective in both work and personal life.

Having found therapy personally helpful during hard times, Paul is passionate about supporting others to reclaim a sense of wellbeing and joy. He approaches his work as an integrative therapist, drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques and tailoring them to the unique needs of each person he sees. Treatment choices are guided by what arises in sessions and by what clients feel comfortable exploring, because every individual’s path is different.

Paul holds BACP credentials - the designation associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects professional standards for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. He welcomes questions from anyone considering therapy and responds promptly to enquiries. Paul looks forward to meeting people who are ready to begin a process of healing and change.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Paul works from an integrative, evidence-focused perspective, combining practical skills-based methods with exploratory work. Skills-based techniques teach concrete strategies for managing stress and anxiety - tools for breathing, grounding, pacing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns that can reduce day-to-day overwhelm and improve coping.

He also uses trauma-informed therapeutic work to help people process experiences of abuse, loss or other distressing events. This approach focuses on pacing, emotional regulation and making sense of painful memories so that they become easier to live with and less likely to derail daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Paul collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals and personal preferences. Together they explore methods and adjust the pace and focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Paul is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family and health needs, and make it easier to access consistent support without long commutes. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver effective care remotely, and Paul aims to make sessions accessible and adaptable to each person’s life.
