About Paul

Paul Campbell works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem using a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience first. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 11 years of professional experience.

Paul regards the person as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions he listens and helps clients make sense of what is happening for them. He uses practical, conversational methods rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

His work includes focus on attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, commitment and control problems, and difficulties with forgiveness, guilt and shame. He also supports people dealing with dissociation, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction. Relationship strain, fatherhood issues and feelings of emptiness are part of his practice too.

Paul draws on a mix of approaches to suit different situations. He uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current reactions, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress, and Motivational Interviewing when change feels difficult. Psychodynamic ideas inform longer-term patterns that surface in therapy.

The first session usually involves talking through concerns and agreeing what to work on. Paul aims to help people identify small, manageable steps they can try between sessions, while reviewing progress as therapy continues.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and interaction styles, which can help with relationship problems and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s own perspective, using listening and reflective dialogue to clarify priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques for anxiety, stress and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a direction together, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. This collaborative process helps match practical techniques to longer-term emotional patterns.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and for using audio-only options if that better suits day-to-day life. Ask about format choices when you book so you know what to expect.
