He also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, codependency, and feelings of emptiness.

Online support
Attachment and Practical Therapies Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's concerns and offering nonjudgmental listening so the person feels heard and can find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or reframe negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and comfort level. He blends listening with practical exercises so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone can fit a break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on useful tools and clearer choices.
