Paul Gibbs , BACP

Paul Gibbs is a counsellor who combines personal experience with professional training to support people through difficult transitions and emotional challenges. He speaks openly about long-standing struggles with self-confidence and how those early doubts helped shape his commitment to a helping profession. His own journey included major health crises - surviving cancer and undergoing a quadruple heart bypass - experiences that deepened his empathy and sense of purpose as a practitioner.

Those years of recovery and reflection led him to qualify as a counsellor and to pursue work that honours each person’s unique story. He draws on the principles of client-centered therapy to create a respectful, accepting space where people can explore issues such as self-esteem, grief, relationships, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. He also works with concerns like addiction, trauma, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and career or identity questions.

Paul holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He aims to walk alongside people as they find clarity and resilience, offering steady support without judgment. Whether someone is facing a life-changing diagnosis, navigating loss, or simply needs a compassionate listener, Paul provides practical, empathetic guidance so clients can move toward their own goals.
