About Paul

Paul Kitson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who supports men’s wellbeing among other concerns. He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, career pressures and anger. Paul uses a calm, non-judgemental style so clients can talk openly about what matters to them.

Paul has three years of professional experience as an Integrative Counsellor and holds the NCPS credential. He offers a space to reflect on difficult transitions and to sort through tangled emotions. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding practical steps forward.

His approach is client-centred, which means conversations are guided by the person in the room. Paul listens for recurring patterns and helps people spot choices they may not have noticed. He aims to build a working relationship where clients feel heard and able to try new ways of coping.

People also come to Paul with concerns such as ADHD, communication problems, attachment or abandonment issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. He supports those facing midlife changes, divorce or separation, and the fallout from infidelity or guilt and shame.

Paul encourages straightforward goals and small, achievable changes. He works with people to clarify values and priorities, and to rebuild confidence and motivation. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, checks understanding, and helps the client find their own insights and decisions. This approach is well-suited to issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and many life transitions.

Because Paul describes an integrative, person-focused style, the emphasis is on collaboration. He will work with each person to test what feels most helpful, discussing ways of working that match goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and is agreed together rather than assumed up front.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people choose online work because it can fit around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep continuity during busy periods. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility for those juggling family or job commitments. Confirm the available arrangements when you book so sessions suit your day-to-day life.
