About Paul

Paul Gibbs is a BACP-registered counsellor who brings a compassionate, lived understanding to his therapeutic work. He knows what it is to struggle with self-confidence and to have life events reshape identity, which informs his empathetic, nonjudgmental style. Having navigated serious health challenges in recent years - including a cancer diagnosis and a quadruple heart bypass - he draws on personal experience of recovery and resilience to support others through their own difficult transitions.

Paul works with a wide range of concerns, from anxiety, stress and depression to relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, and issues around identity and intimacy. His approach centers on listening deeply and helping people discover their own strengths and clarity, rather than offering simple answers. He aims to create a space where people can explore feelings, build self-esteem, and develop practical ways to cope with change.

Paul values collaboration and respects each person’s pace and priorities. He is based in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he practices according to recognised professional standards and is committed to supporting clients as they work toward meaningful change.

Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Paul practices client-centered therapy, which places the person at the heart of the work and prioritises empathy, active listening, and respect for individual experience. This approach helps people who are dealing with low self-esteem, relationship struggles, grief, or the emotional impact of life changes by creating a supportive space to explore feelings and personal goals.



In practice he focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and responding without judgment. Therapy is collaborative - the therapist and client work together to identify what matters most, try new ways of coping, and adjust the approach as needs and goals evolve.



Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into everyday life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or health commitments, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable. Registered professionals, including Paul, use these methods to reach clients who prefer remote support while maintaining a consistent, therapeutic relationship.
