Paul Currie, BACP

Paul Currie offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, or low self-esteem. He helps people who are struggling with mood problems, addiction, relationship or intimacy issues, and the everyday challenges that feel overwhelming. Paul writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters to each person.

He trained and works with approaches described as evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Paul draws on a range of methods and adapts them to each person’s needs and comfort. Sessions focus on what has brought someone along and on small, manageable steps to feel steadier and more in control.

Paul has five years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He practises from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. He does not accept international clients at this time.

In the room, Paul aims to make the difficult conversations easier to talk about. He encourages clear goals, practical coping strategies, and reflection on patterns that keep people stuck. Work may include addressing grief, chronic pain or illness, anger, career questions, ADHD-related challenges, or feelings of isolation.

For someone unsure how to begin, Paul asks a few simple questions to match priorities and then plans sessions that fit with a person’s rhythm of life. He invites potential clients to reach out with queries before they start.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Paul draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns, building coping strategies and working through difficult feelings. One approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small real-life steps to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic memories and teaching steadying skills to manage distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on a plan that fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time so sessions are easier to attend. Many people find online sessions make it simpler to maintain continuity while balancing work, family and health demands.
