Meet Paul

At Fly Free Psychotherapy I aim to Set your Body, Mind & Soul Free!

I am a Humanistic Existential Integrative Practice. A mainly Humanistic approach with other approaches to help the individual when needed. Please see the posts on Person Centred Therapy [PCT], Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy [CBT], Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis [T.A.] for more information. I am also a avid fan and user of Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, and Self-Compassion.

My name is Paul I’m in my early 50’s with lots of life experiences. I have lived through Trauma, Anxiety & Depression, Drug & Alcohol abuse and one of the main reasons I have taken this path to help others. I spent a long time trying to understand my problems and issues, and just working out my life’s meaning, going to therapy myself has helped me to see both sides, and I bring this experience, with everything else, to you’re therapy room.

Before I decided to go down the journey of Counselling training, I trained as a carer, and spent a couple of years working with the elderly, young adults and adults with disabilities. I really enjoyed this work, but wanted to go a little further, and here I am today. I am also a web designer and in my spare time I like to DJ, and run a music magazine.

I am a very easy-going person, and nothing shocks me, I am very understanding, and open-minded, and I bring these traits to my practice. I have counselled varied age-groups from 17 to 62, so no matter what age you are I am able to connect.

No matter what you are going through, or what you have been through, or if you just need Life / Work Guidance, please get in touch.

I have a B.A. Degree in Counselling Skills & psychotherapy Studies. I also have a Certificate in Logotherapy for OCD, Phobias and Anxiety treatment. I also have a Level 4 [UK] Drugs & Alcohol Abuse Counselling qualification, I have also completed the 12 Step Recovery course by Russell Brand, and trained in Relationship and Family Counselling Level 3 [UK]. I am continuing on my studies with a Post Grad Diploma in Logotherapy, which will give me the additional skills to practice Life & Business coaching. I have also had Self-Harm & Suicide Prevention training, and I have just gained my TA101 Certificate [Transactional Analysis].

I plan to continue with a Diploma in Transactional Analysis, and some further training in Gestalt Therapy. In the mean time, I will be keeping up to par with the Humanistic Approach with CPD Training every few months.

I have training in Autism awareness, and Counselling people with Autism, Sexual abuse, and Trauma informed therapy.

My office is located in Santa Margarita, La Linea De La Concepcion, Andalusia, Cadiz, Spain, on the Costa Del Sol, near to Gibraltar, for face-to-face sessions. I do online sessions through Skype, and I can also meet you at your home or dedicated place.

I am an accredited member of the Asociación Española de Counselling, I practice to their terms of ethics. I attend 1 hour of Supervision, with a Transactional Analysis Supervisor, every 2 months, and also attend my own personal psychotherapy.
