About Paul
Paul Linger is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or who are coping with loss, addiction, relationship difficulties and life changes. Paul aims to create a warm and respectful space where people can speak openly and work through what matters to them.
He believes each person brings strengths and knowledge about their own life. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than using the same plan for everyone. Paul draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas alongside person-centred listening to help people spot patterns and try different ways of responding.
Paul also brings experience from a range of mental health roles over the past decade. His background includes work with autism and additional needs services, addictions, youth work, social care and NHS community mental health. This experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
His approach is described as warm and interactive, with an emphasis on respect and sensitivity. He aims to support people who want to take steps toward change, whether that means managing intense feelings, rebuilding confidence, or coping with adoption and foster care related concerns.
People who choose to work with Paul can expect a collaborative process. He will listen, offer tools from different therapeutic approaches, and help shape a plan that fits the person’s goals and daily life.
How Paul’s approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life changes make it hard to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence feelings and connection now, and it can be useful for intimacy concerns and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small, practical changes to feel different and cope better.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Paul works collaboratively to pick ideas and techniques that suit each person’s goals and preferences. He listens to what feels most useful and adjusts the plan as sessions progress rather than imposing a fixed method.
The original profile does not list which online session formats are available, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can try a way of working that suits their routine while still drawing on ACT, attachment-focused work or CBT techniques during sessions.
