Paul Robinson, Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Hi, my name is Paul Robinson. As a relational-integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Preston, Lancashire.
If you are looking for a therapist who will just listen and nod, I may not be the right fit. I offer an actively engaged, direct, and robust approach, designed for clients who are ready to move past simply understanding their life and into real, practical change.
Therapy with me isn't about solving an abstract problem; it's about shifting patterns of relating. The way you connect with me in the room often mirrors the problems you face outside of it. I'm here to serve as a critical friend: warm and supportive, yet challenging when needed. We work together to uncover the old, subconscious 'rules' and expectations that keep you feeling stuck and limited.
We will focus on getting you to understand, clearly and quickly, not just what you feel, but why you feel it. We then use focused, practical strategies to help you translate that new understanding into lasting, real-world behaviour change.
For men, we explicitly address the unique pressures and expectations of modern life, tackling how issues of status, worth, and societal roles impact anxiety, depression, and personal relationships.
If you are prepared for a therapeutic partnership that is both nurturing and challenging—one built to get you moving toward a more fulfilling life—I invite you to book an initial session today.
I offer all potential clients considering working with me the choice of either a free 15 minute online video consultation or, if they prefer, a full, 50 minute, no-obligation taster session at a reduced rate (£35). This can be face to face or online.
The purpose of these initial meetings are for me to understand a bit about what's bringing you here and for you to ask me any questions you might have. My goal is to get a sense of whether I'm the right person to help you, and for you to feel confident in your choice if we decide to move forward.
Further sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £55. If you are unemployed or a student aged 18 or over and in full-time education, the first 8 sessions are £35.
