About Paul

Paul Weeden offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by money worries, stress or life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely, helping people untangle everyday pressures and find manageable next steps. Paul draws on 15 years of practice and brings a calm, conversational approach to sessions.

He uses straightforward tools such as breathing and relaxation exercises to reduce immediate overwhelm. He also helps people improve routines, work-life balance and daily habits that affect mood and motivation. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make life easier.

Paul works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and career issues. He also offers support around addictions, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties and parenting challenges. Additional areas he addresses include ADHD, attachment and communication issues, relationship breakdown and managing the practical side of life transitions.

His style blends client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ways of working. He also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas where helpful. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the client steering priorities and Paul offering tools and reflection.

Paul is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. He sees international clients and conducts sessions in English. If you want clear, down-to-earth support for money-related stress or day-to-day life problems, he can help you plan the next steps.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk things through and to feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to create small, testable changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try different approaches collaboratively. He treats the process as a partnership and adjusts techniques so they are useful for the issues you bring.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments. Online therapy can also make some types of short skills practice easier to fit in between tasks. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they suit your routine and technical needs.
