Dr Paul Lewis

I qualified with a Psychology Doctorate following my Masters and Degree, as well as a holding a Certificate in Counselling. I have 10 years experience, seeing clients in the NHS, private and charity sectors. I work with a variety of psychological approaches. I often recommend Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), but I am flexible in adapting the approach to fit the individual client and also use therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR and counselling. While I can work with all mental health issues such as depressions and stress, I have a particular specialism in anxiety, trauma and insomnia. I am registered with BUPA, AXA, AVIVA, WPA and CIGNA to name a few.

I am registered with HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council), which upholds high standards in professional codes of practice, qualification and ongoing training.

What clients say about working with Paul

I can recommend Paul, a very sympathetic listener, gave me good advice [guidance], and found him a calming influence. (Mr AB. December 2021).

“I found the sessions with Paul very helpful. I did around 16 of these over the last year and have got to a place where I can deal with my ex husband’s aggressive and difficult behaviour. This really affected my life and I feel I have come mechanisms now which are healthy for me and have actually helped me more broadly in my life. Paul was a great help and we are keeping the line open and I still have sessions left with bupa, which I will use if I need to”. (Ms AB, -Individual sessions- April 2024)

Sessions with Paul were very helpful. Still lots of things to think about and work on but [I’m now] in a pretty good space. Mr S.L. (Individual work – May 2022)
