About Paul
Paul Prescott is a counsellor who focuses on helping people work through relationship and intimacy issues, stress and anxiety, and life changes. He uses straightforward talk and a calm presence to help people find clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Online support
Approach-led online therapy and practical support
Paul blends Jungian therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to offer both depth and practical change. Jungian therapy pays attention to personal symbols, dreams and life meaning, helping people uncover hidden patterns and a stronger sense of self. ACT focuses on values and small committed actions, teaching ways to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings to live a more meaningful life.He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, especially around intimacy and trust. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process; the therapist works with each person to try methods that suit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls suit deeper, face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel simpler to join. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, journalling-style work, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
