About Paul
Paul Gledhill is a down-to-earth counsellor who uses Psychodynamic Therapy to help people understand recurring patterns in their lives. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy approachable for anyone feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or loss. Paul holds a BACP credential and brings six years of clinical experience to his practice.
Paul describes his style as friendly, direct and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on uncovering the underlying thoughts and feelings that drive current difficulties. This can help with common concerns such as depression, relationship troubles, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
He also works with people affected by trauma, addictions and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas he attends to include abandonment, attachment difficulties and challenges connected with adoption and foster care. He has experience supporting people with career stress and caregiving strain.
Paul has worked with military and emergency services clients since 2019 and is currently undertaking a research doctorate about how therapy works for military personnel and veterans. That background informs his understanding of responses to extreme events and to coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
In sessions Paul aims to help people notice patterns, talk through difficult memories and develop clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. He invites questions and practical feedback so therapy fits each person’s life and goals.
Psychodynamic thinking in online therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. It uses conversation to bring recurring patterns into view and helps people make sense of difficult emotions and behaviours. This approach can be helpful for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and responses to traumatic events.Paul combines a straightforward, down-to-earth style with psychodynamic work so sessions are clear and collaborative. He will talk with each person about what they want from therapy and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Deciding on the right approach is a shared process that adapts as needs and goals change.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer a way to continue therapy during major life disruptions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and make it simpler to access someone with experience of trauma and extreme events.
