About Paul

Paul Kitson is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. He supports clients struggling with motivation, workplace issues and feeling stuck during life transitions. Paul presents a calm, non-judgemental presence to help people talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

With three years of practice, Paul draws on an integrative background while emphasising a Client-Centred Therapy approach. That means sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with the counsellor following the client's lead and offering steady, attentive listening. He aims to make space for feelings such as shame, guilt, emptiness and anger so they can be named and understood.

Paul also focuses on matters related to attachment and abandonment, communication problems, jealousy and issues that come up around separation or divorce. He works with people dealing with career concerns, midlife questions, men’s issues and the strain of caring or parenting roles. Attention to mood difficulties and neurodiversity-related challenges such as ADHD is part of his practice.

Clients can expect practical conversation about coping and next steps, alongside reflective exploration of values and life purpose. Paul encourages small, achievable changes and helps people reconnect with strengths they may have lost sight of.

He holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. Sessions are conducted in English and he practises from the United Kingdom.

How a client-centred approach fits online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people lead the pace of their own sessions. It invites the counsellor to reflect what the person says, help name feelings and support personal choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief by creating room to understand what matters most to the client.

Paul also draws on an integrative stance, blending straightforward conversation about coping with deeper reflection on attachment, abandonment or life purpose. That combination can be useful when someone needs both practical steps and time to make sense of emotions. Finding the right way to work together is part of the process, and the counsellor will collaborate with the client to decide which elements to use based on their goals and preferences.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and reducing travel time. Remote work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a lunch break or to continue sessions when relocation or work demands change. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
