Paul Campbell, BACP

Paul Campbell is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through relationship difficulties and trauma. Paul emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental way of listening that puts the client’s perspective first.

His approach treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions are conversational and practical. Paul looks for small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life and build on what already works for the client.

Paul draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred ways of relating, cognitive behavioural techniques, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. He adapts these tools to the concern at hand, whether that is problems with trust, patterns of codependency, or struggles around infidelity and commitment.

He has particular experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation, and the emotional impact of domestic violence. Paul also works with people facing drug and alcohol addiction, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and the challenges of fatherhood.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. The therapist asks people to consider their goals and brings practical suggestions while also exploring deeper patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and close relationships shape current trust and closeness. It helps people notice patterns in relationships, such as fear of abandonment or difficulty depending on others, and then try new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy creates a listening space where the client’s view leads the conversation; this helps people feel heard and then make choices that suit them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Paul will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods could be most useful. He tends to work collaboratively, checking in and adjusting the plan as you go.

The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around commitments and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current options before booking. Ask about session length, frequency and whether video or phone meetings are offered so you can pick what suits your schedule and needs.
