Mr Paul Wadey

Psychotherapist

“An experienced Consulting Clinical Supervisor and registered accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist & Family Practitioner.”

About Me

As an experienced counsellor, psychotherapist, and family practitioner, this therapist offers support for life's challenges. They create a safe, collaborative space where you can explore difficult feelings and find new ways forward. With a background as a clinical supervisor, they bring a deep understanding to each session. This approach helps clients gain clarity and build resilience, fostering positive change for lasting well-being.

Approach

Sessions focus on gently making sense of patterns and moments that feel stuck, using careful listening and measured reflection to help you notice choices and shifts. I see clients in Colchester and work online in English, keeping sessions paced to suit families, adolescents and adults while offering space between meetings for reflection or short tasks when helpful. My approach blends thoughtful psychodynamic enquiry with practical, relational focus so you and I map changes together. This way of working often suits people seeking clarity, steadiness and renewed connection.
