About Paul
Paul Dent is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and anger. He also supports concerns such as relationship problems, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, and self-esteem struggles.
Paul approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts in their own stories. He listens to what has happened and to the patterns that keep causing pain. Together with each client he sets clear goals and checks progress regularly so people know how the work is going.
Sessions include practical conversations about thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Paul uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new responses, and rebuild damaged connections. He brings approaches like client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas into those discussions.
He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning and values, and motivational interviewing to support change where people feel stuck. Where relationship issues are involved, Paul draws on methods informed by the Gottman approach to improve communication and manage conflict.
Paul has worked for over a decade with a wide range of concerns from ADHD and bipolar mood issues to chronic pain and attachment problems. He accepts clients from outside the UK and holds a BACP credential. To begin he asks people to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How Paul uses named approaches in online work
Paul draws on client-centred work to prioritise what matters most to the client. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what is said, and helping people notice their strengths so they can make changes they want.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT techniques can help with anger by breaking down patterns of thinking and practising new behaviours in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with clients about goals, what has helped before, and what feels realistic. He treats choosing methods as a collaborative process and reviews progress to adjust the plan where needed.

Others prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or to avoid being on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer these practical options to make therapy fit day-to-day life.
