I have worked with Paul for a some time now. My life has become extremely challenging and he has provided a source of much needed stability in my life and also helped me to address long standing challenges. Paul knows exactly what is needed and has acted professionally and sensitively. I highly value our time together and also his very obvious expertise and skill. He is subtle in his approach which given the extensive trauma in my life has enabled me to open up to my own life.

So far, the past two sessions have been a blast. I know I needed help, but was unsure of what exactly I needed. Paul identified the issue, and is not only guiding me in fixing it, but also helping me in understanding how I work and why it became an issue. He is passionate about his work, and a blessing to talk to every week.
