    About Paul

    Paul Campbell is a counsellor with 11 years of experience and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self esteem. Paul works in a straightforward, respectful way that treats each person as the expert on their own life.

    He uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build motivation at a pace that feels right. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. Client-centred listening and cognitive tools are used to clarify problems and try practical steps day to day.

    Paul describes therapy as a collaborative process. He aims to create a calm space to talk through painful experiences and to test small changes between sessions. He pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and control problems when these come up.

    People also work with him on addictions and relapse concerns, including drug and alcohol problems, and on the emotional fallout from infidelity, guilt and shame. He brings psychodynamic thinking to understand repeated patterns, while keeping work grounded in present goals and practical coping.

    If you want to start, Paul suggests using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire so you can schedule according to availability.

  2. How Paul uses different approaches for online therapy

    Paul uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and to build commitment at a manageable pace. This approach is often helpful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and taking small practical steps.

    He also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and relationship issues. That perspective can help when feelings of abandonment, codependency or trust problems are present.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul treats therapy as a cooperative process and will discuss which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. Together you decide whether to focus on motivation, attachment patterns, cognitive skills or a mix of these.

    Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel, and let people join from quieter surroundings. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or phone-only sessions if video is difficult. Paul will work with you to choose the practical arrangement that best fits your day-to-day life.
