About Paul

Paul Kitson is an NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, career pressures, family matters, ADHD and anger. He supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated by recurring patterns in their life.

Sessions are conversational and person-focused. He listens to what matters most to the client and helps them clarify immediate goals. Work tends to be practical - spotting the triggers for anger or anxiety, testing small changes, and reflecting on what helps over time.

Paul uses Client-Centred Therapy as his main approach. That means the conversation centres on the client’s experience and pace. He encourages people to describe what they notice in their thoughts and feelings, then explores different ways to respond rather than react.

Common topics include managing anger that shows up at work or at home, communicating without escalating, dealing with grief and shame, and finding motivation after a setback. He also addresses attachment and abandonment worries that often underlie recurring anger or relationship strain.

His style is straightforward and calm. Sessions aim to build clearer communication habits, more reliable emotion-regulation strategies, and a better sense of what fits the person’s life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

How his approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what the person says, and follows their pace. This approach helps with anger, relationship strain and low self-esteem by making it easier to notice triggers and test new responses.

In practice Paul helps people name patterns in their emotions and try manageable changes. For example, he might guide someone to notice the early signs of mounting anger and practice a short pause before responding. That kind of practical work translates well to online conversations and helps with problems at work or at home.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. Paul will work collaboratively to decide which techniques suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. He reviews progress together and adjusts the focus as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into daily life easier by reducing travel and allowing more flexible timing. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it or fuller conversations when more time is available.
