About Paul
Paul Kitson works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, career concerns and anger using a person-centred approach. He is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
He offers one-to-one counselling that focuses on listening and understanding. Sessions are built around what the client brings. The emphasis is on helping people speak about their concerns and notice what matters to them most.
Paul uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means he aims to reflect what clients say and help them find their own solutions. He also pays attention to patterns such as attachment or abandonment issues and how these affect relationships and self-worth.
Practical problems such as workplace stress, career uncertainty and anger are discussed in straightforward ways. Paul helps people untangle communication problems, jealousy, forgiveness issues and feelings of emptiness so they can make clearer choices.
He also works with more specific concerns like ADHD, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), separation and divorce, and men’s issues. Conversations include looking at life purpose, isolation and the impact of guilt and shame.
Sessions are conducted in English from the UK. Paul asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before their first meeting to help plan the initial session.
How Paul works online with Client-Centred methods
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person identify their own priorities. This approach is useful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems and grief because it centres on the client’s perspective.
Paul also attends to attachment and abandonment patterns that affect relationships. In practice this means conversations can look at how past connections shape current communication and closeness. That helps when dealing with jealousy, separation, infidelity or ongoing trust issues.
Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Paul will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt his listening and pacing to what the client needs. This collaborative approach means the method can change as the work develops.
If you are considering online counselling, check the current session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or less bandwidth are required rather than a full video call.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
