About Paul
Paul Douglas Rankeillor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem and motivation. He also supports those coping with addictions and major life changes.
Paul creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings. He encourages practical steps and honest conversation, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
He frames therapy as a collaborative process and works alongside clients to find what helps them most. His work covers a range of emotional struggles including feelings of abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and loneliness. He also addresses questions about life purpose, money and financial stress, sexuality and self-love.
Paul aims to help people build clearer thinking and steadier moods. Paul is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. That registration is noted as his credential and reflects his professional standing in the UK.
To begin, he invites people to take a small first step: saying what matters most and trying an approach for a few weeks. His focus is on practical coping, rebuilding confidence, and helping people make manageable changes that fit their everyday life.

Focus areas and approaches
What Paul works with
Everything Paul lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit each person's needs, goals and preferences. He aims to make decisions together so the plan matches the client's daily life and priorities.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel or busy family routines.
