Online OnlyPaul holds a BSc (First Class Honours, Level 8) in Counselling & Psychotherapy from PCI College in association with Middlesex University. He also holds a Master’s degree in Contemporary Adolescent Psychotherapy from
DCTC in association with Northampton University, specialising in the developmental, relational, and psychological needs of young people.
Paul holds a Qualifying Diploma in Sexology, Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS). He is a qualified Sexologist and Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist and a registered member of the College of Sex and Relationship Therapists (COSRT).
He is also a fully accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and works in accordance with the ethical frameworks and professional standards of both organisations. Paul engages in ongoing professional development, clinical supervision, and reflective practice to support safe, ethical, and effective therapeutic work.
Paul works from an integrative and relational perspective, while also drawing on a bio-psycho-social framework which recognises that emotional wellbeing, sexuality, and relationships are shaped by the interaction between biological, psychological, and social influences.
His aim is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences openly and at their own pace. Through collaborative exploration, Paul supports clients in developing greater self-awareness, emotional understanding, and relational insight.
Therapy may involve supporting people through immediate challenges such as anxiety, stress, or relationship difficulties, while also offering space to explore deeper themes relating to identity, sexuality, intimacy, and personal meaning. Paul believes therapy can help people move toward greater authenticity, self-acceptance, and more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the difficulties that can come from navigating through life within an environment that is at odds with who and how you are. This can lead to negative effects on mental and physical well-being within the Queer community, such as internalised homophobia, substance abuse, feelings of fear and isolation, and experiences of intimidation and violence.
Of course, any individual that is perceived as being different in this world can suffer distress. Journeying towards individuality is a step away from the collective norm. I practice Queer affirming therapy recognising and validating the diversity, intersectionality and difference within our multicultural society and enabling clients to embrace and celebrate their authentic selves.
