About Paul

Paul Kitson is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with young adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, career questions and ADHD concerns.

Paul uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people name what is happening and try small, practical changes. He listens for patterns in relationships and mood, and helps people spot what keeps them stuck.

In meetings he pays attention to how attachment and abandonment experiences shape current reactions. He also helps people work through guilt, shame, jealousy and issues around infidelity or separation. Practical topics such as workplace stress, motivation and finding direction are part of his practice too.

Paul describes his approach as rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, where the person’s own experience guides the pace and focus. He encourages clear communication and realistic steps you can try between sessions. This can include simple strategies for coping with anxiety, managing anger, or improving self-esteem.

People who choose him can expect calm, direct conversation about concrete problems. To check specific session arrangements and formats, readers should confirm current options before booking. The first step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a first appointment.

How Client-Centred therapy translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and follows their lead. In practice this means sessions are conversational, with the counsellor reflecting back what they hear, asking clarifying questions and supporting the client to find their own answers. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship confusion where understanding personal feelings helps guide change.

Because Paul works from a person-focused stance, the approach is usually collaborative. He will check in about what is helpful, adapt the pace and try different ways of working until the client and counsellor agree they are making progress. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together rather than a one-off decision.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people choose whether to be on camera, use audio only, or plan appointments around busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can help match format and frequency to the client's goals and daily life.
