Paul Prescott, BACP

Paul Prescott offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. He describes a warm, non-judgemental way of working that helps clients find clarity and make meaningful choices. Paul invites people to take small steps toward change and stays alongside them through the process.

He has seven years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings an integrative style that draws on several therapies to match what each person needs. Sessions are framed around the client’s own goals and life view rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Paul works with a broad range of issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression and coping with life changes. He also helps with intimacy, communication problems, body image and challenges linked to parenting and fatherhood. His practice includes areas like attachment issues, ADHD, and concerns tied to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

In sessions Paul aims to create an authentic therapeutic alliance. He listens without judgement and helps people explore values, meaning and practical next steps. Work can include noticing patterns, developing new responses and building emotional understanding.

People can expect clear talk, gentle challenge and a focus on real-life changes. Paul accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. He offers a range of online formats to suit different needs and lifestyles.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. This approach supports work on stress, anxiety, addiction and values-based life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and helps people try different responses; it is often used for anxiety, sleeping problems and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and attachment experiences to improve emotional connection and understanding in close relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Paul will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the client’s goals and preferences. He adapts the way he uses these approaches so sessions feel relevant and manageable for each person.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, live chat offers a quick way to check in and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to have regular contact and to choose the format that suits daily life and practical needs.
