Paul Green , NCPS

Paul Green specialises in supporting young people while also offering counselling to adults who would benefit from a person-centred approach. He draws on eight years working in education to understand the developmental and emotional needs of adolescents and young adults, and four years with the Samaritans to hone a skill set focused on calm, attentive emotional support through listening.

Working primarily with clients aged 14 to 25, Paul uses a person-centred model that keeps the client’s priorities at the heart of each session. In this approach he follows what the client brings to the room and supports them to explore feelings and make sense of their experience, rather than giving direct advice. He holds the NCPS credential, which indicates training in counselling practice and client support.

Paul aims to create a space where young people can work things out for themselves at their own pace, and he is also experienced in adapting that same person-centred way of working for adult clients who seek emotional and practical support.

Client-Centered Care and Flexible Online Access

Paul Green practices client-centered therapy, an approach that focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. This method involves active listening, empathy, and allowing clients to lead sessions so they can explore feelings, identify goals, and arrive at their own solutions. It is well suited to issues where insight, self-exploration, and personal growth are central concerns.

Alongside that, Paul brings a supportive listening approach developed through work with the Samaritans. This style emphasises steady presence and reflective listening, helping clients feel heard and understood when navigating acute distress, grief, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paul works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the way of working as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessing that person-centred care. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can connect with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that suit them, fitting sessions around study, work, or other commitments. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different ways of engaging until the most effective fit is found.
