Paul Gledhill, BACP

Paul Gledhill is a counsellor who uses Psychodynamic Therapy to help people understand the roots of their difficulties. He is approachable and direct, and aims to create a simple, practical space where people can talk things through. He holds a Masters degree in Psychodynamic Therapy and has six years of clinical experience. Paul is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Paul describes psychodynamic work as a way to bring underlying patterns into view. In sessions he listens for repetitions and feelings that point to earlier experiences. Clients can expect thoughtful, steady conversations rather than quick fixes. He can help with stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes.

He also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. Additional areas he supports include body image, addiction-related struggles, career disruption and the challenges of ageing. He names a broad range of issues he has worked with and tailors conversations to what each person brings.

Paul has a research interest in how therapy works with service personnel and veterans, and he began clinical work with military and emergency services people in 2019. His approach combines attention to past patterns with practical discussions about current coping. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening and finding ways to move forward.

To begin someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and arranges sessions according to the therapist's schedule. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Psychodynamic work and what online therapy can offer

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on uncovering patterns that influence feelings and behaviour. It pays attention to repeated emotional responses and relationships, helping people link current problems to earlier experiences. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns.

Paul combines reflective listening with practical conversation about coping. He aims to help clients notice patterns and make different choices. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk through options with each person and adapt the work to their needs, goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking since no specific formats are listed in the biography. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by removing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. It can also permit shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you understand how sessions will be arranged and what will work best for your situation.
