Welcome!

My name is Paul Lawlor, and I’m a qualified Humanistic Counsellor, having completed a BSc degree at the Metanoia Institute in London. The style I offer is relational, warm, and uses the three elements of Humanistic therapy; person centred, gestalt, and transactional analysis.

Some cornerstones of my approach are;

• The more we understand our feelings, the better decisions we make
• The promotion of diversity and compassionate acceptance
• Creativity, community and individuality
• Incorporating the wellbeing benefits of nature into talking therapies
• The core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard

I understand that everyone has different preferences. That's why I offer flexible options for your therapy sessions. Whether you'd like to meet in my therapy room, the outdoors, or connect online, we can find the perfect fit for you. We can even mix and match these options to create the best experience. We can discuss and decide together as we go along.
