About Paul
Paul Kemp is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He holds BACP accreditation and focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. Paul also supports career concerns, compassion fatigue and life transitions, and offers coaching-style conversations when helpful.
Paul keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He aims to build an open space where people can say what they feel and think without judgement.
Background and approach
He encourages small steps and realistic goals rather than sudden big changes. In practice Paul draws on client-centred work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. He uses narrative ideas to help people make sense of difficult events and decisions.
Mindfulness techniques are introduced to manage unhelpful thoughts and ground anxious moments. Paul also incorporates elements of internal family systems to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts influence behaviour. Existential themes are discussed when clients are weighing life purpose, meaning or major change.
The sessions tend to be pragmatic and tailored. Paul helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and plan realistic next steps. He is clear about boundaries and about the types of concerns he does not work with, such as addiction or compulsive sexual behaviours.
Practical details are handled through an online matching process and scheduling system. People who choose to begin fill in a short questionnaire, match with Paul, and arrange sessions that fit their timing.

Online support
Narrative therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves. Rewriting those stories can reduce shame and open up new options for career choices, relationships and coping with loss.
Mindfulness techniques are taught in short, easy exercises that can be practised between sessions. These help manage racing thoughts and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods collaboratively. Paul aims to adapt sessions so they match changing needs rather than sticking to a single method.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when being on camera isn’t wanted. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical progress.
