How Paul’s approaches translate to online work

Paul uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize listening and building a trusting connection, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for stress, grief, and life changes where being listened to matters most.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and patterns linked to addiction.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Paul will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. Together they try strategies and adjust as needed, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are supported before booking because the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow a quick check-in during a break. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can better match daily routines. Confirm current session formats and scheduling details when you arrange your first appointment.
