Paul Currie, BACP

Paul Currie is a UK-based integrative therapist who supports people through confusing, overwhelming and painful periods of life. He frames difficult experiences as signals that call for attention, care and healing rather than problems to be pushed away, and he works with clients to create practical ways forward that restore balance and wellbeing. Drawing on five years of practice, Paul tailors evidence-based therapeutic techniques to each person he sees, adapting the pace and methods to what is brought up in sessions and to what the client feels comfortable exploring.

Having experienced the benefits of therapy personally, Paul is motivated by helping others reclaim a sense of healing and joy. He believes that navigating hardship can lead to greater resilience, deeper self-understanding and more compassionate relationships, and that counselling can strengthen both personal and professional life. Paul is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Paul works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and many other challenges. He welcomes inquiries and encourages prospective clients to send a message with questions; he aims to respond promptly and help people take the next step toward support.

Practical evidence-based approaches for online support

Paul uses an integrative, evidence-focused approach that combines structured skills work with empathic listening. One common strand is skills-based intervention - practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and everyday stressors through breathing, pacing, activity planning and thought management exercises that clients can apply between sessions.

Paul also offers trauma-informed, compassionate work that helps people process painful experiences and painful emotions at a pace they can tolerate. This approach focuses on building safety, managing overwhelming reactions and developing coping strategies for grief, abuse or other traumatic incidents.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Paul works collaboratively to identify what fits a client’s needs, goals and preferences. He will discuss options openly and adjust methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Paul is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from wherever a client is located in the United Kingdom. These formats support continuity of care, make therapy more accessible for people with mobility or time constraints, and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
