Hello.  I’m Paul.  I hope you find the information you need on this website.  Do contact me should you have further questions.

I offer help with difficulties such as trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, the enhancement of confidence & performance, and personal development.

I have worked as a therapist for over 30 years. I have worked in Higher Education, the NHS, the Third Sector and independent practice as a therapist, supervisor, service manager and trainer of therapists.  In my therapeutic practice I integrate EMDR, clinical hypnosis, CRM, body psychotherapies, meditative practices and cognitive behavioural procedures.

I have postgraduate training in integrative counselling & psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis, and consultant status in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).  I am accredited as a Senior Practitioner by the BACP and a Consultant by EMDR Europe.

I have particular expertise in the treatment of post traumatic experiences: I was a contributor to NICE National Clinical Practice Guideline No. 26 – Post-traumatic stress disorder: the management of PTSD in adults and children in primary, secondary and community care.  I have an interest in transpersonal and spiritual dimensions and am currently researching anomalous experience in the therapeutic process for PhD in the Department of Psychology & Counselling at the University of Greenwich.

I work mainly in Brighton & Hove but can travel to undertake work in other areas.  I charge £75 per hour for self-referring clients, and a varying fee for clients who are referred by agencies.  If you’re thinking of embarking on therapy, I’d be pleased to discuss how I might be of help before you decide to proceed.
