About Paul
Paul Gledhill offers a psychodynamic approach that aims to uncover underlying patterns affecting wellbeing. He writes plainly and speaks directly, using everyday language to help people make sense of recurring difficulties. Paul presents as down to earth and non-judgemental, with a focus on helping each person find clearer ways forward.
He holds a Masters degree in Psychodynamic Therapy and is working on a research doctorate about how therapy works with military personnel and veterans. That background informs his practice but he works with people from many different walks of life. Psychodynamic work tends to look for hidden patterns and early influences that shape current feelings and choices.
Sessions involve talking through feelings and memories to identify repeating themes. Paul aims to make that process straightforward and practical, so people leave with a clearer sense of themselves and small steps they can try between meetings. He keeps language simple and avoids jargon.
Paul has six years of practice experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His work covers many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, career difficulties and coping with life changes.

Psychodynamic thinking and online counselling
Psychodynamic Therapy looks for repeated patterns in feelings and relationships. It encourages talking about memories, dreams and current reactions to understand how the past shapes the present. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns.Paul's practice brings that way of thinking into a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide how the psychodynamic approach fits their goals and preferences. Together they discuss what to focus on and how often to meet, so the therapy matches the person's needs.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life, saving travel time, and allowing a quicker check-in when a short conversation will help. Because Paul's session options are not specified here, confirm current session formats before booking so you know whether phone or video is available. Many people find that being able to choose a format makes it simpler to keep therapy part of everyday life.
