About Paul Cleland
Combining mind-focused work with body-centered techniques, Paul uses somatic therapy to explore how emotions can be held or expressed in the body, and Internal Family Systems to map and work with different parts of the self. This integrated approach aims to uncover emotional blocks and create space for healing, increased self-compassion, and renewed motivation.
Paul also offers focused support around forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and building self-love, and he attends to compassion fatigue for those experiencing emotional exhaustion from caring roles. He is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a calm, empathic presence to each session.
Paul frames the therapeutic journey as a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life and seeks to empower people as they take those steps. He looks forward to supporting individuals who wish to explore change and personal growth.
