About Paul
Paul Gledhill is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years' practice in the United Kingdom. He lists stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, career matters and depression among the main concerns he works with.
Paul uses Psychodynamic Therapy as his primary approach. He explains this as work that looks at underlying patterns and repeated feelings, then talks them through with the client. He holds a Masters degree in Psychodynamic Therapy and is engaged in a research doctorate exploring how therapy works with military personnel and veterans.
Sessions often bring up memories, strong feelings and repeated behaviours. Paul describes the work as direct and down-to-earth, using common sense to help people understand what is happening for them. He frames the process as looking beneath day-to-day problems to find recurring themes and their origins.
He has experience supporting people from a range of backgrounds and has worked with military and emergency services clients since 2019. That background informs his practice and how he listens to patterns of stress and trauma.

Psychodynamic approaches and online counselling
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns, feelings and relationships that repeat across time. It helps people notice how past experiences and defence habits influence current worries and how they relate to others. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and recurring emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Paul will help clients weigh up what feels most useful, discuss goals and adjust how sessions run as needs and priorities become clearer. That decision is collaborative rather than predetermined.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from home or work when quieter surroundings are available. They also let people start with a shorter meeting or keep to audio only if that feels less demanding. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
