Paul Cromie, NCPS

Paul Cromie is a counsellor with four years of clinical experience. He holds NCPS accreditation as an Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) and works from the United Kingdom. Paul previously worked in broadcasting and journalism, and brings that background into his therapeutic work.

Paul practises in an integrative way with a strong emphasis on client-centred therapy. He lets people set the agenda and follows what matters to them each session. That means conversations are guided by the client's concerns rather than a fixed script.

He helps people facing stress and anxiety, and those exploring sexuality and LGBT issues. He also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with life changes. Practical worries like panic attacks and social anxiety are part of his focus too.

Paul pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and problems with communication or control. He works with themes of guilt, shame, forgiveness and isolation. Men's issues, narcissism, self-love and finding life purpose are also areas he covers.

Clients can expect a calm, conversational approach. The first session includes a short counselling contract before the main conversation begins. Paul aims to create space for people to tell their story and decide what to focus on next.

How Pauls Approaches Translate to Online Counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the persons own goals and priorities. The counsellor follows what matters to the client, offering a listening space and reflecting what is said to support clearer thinking. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions; it often uses short, practical tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to help reduce worry and notice present-moment experience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss different ways of working and try methods that fit each persons needs and goals. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and can change over time as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can help fit counselling around everyday life by reducing travel and making sessions easier to arrange around work or study. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require video if that suits someone better. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt sessions so talking therapy can work alongside daily commitments.
