Paul Whitehead (Vidyapala)

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or carrying pain that’s hard to name? You might be living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, grief, or simply a sense that something’s not quite right.

​

You don’t need to go through it alone.

​

I offer a warm, confidential space where you can slow down, feel supported, and begin to make sense of what’s happening inside. Therapy with me is collaborative and down-to-earth. I’ll work alongside you to help uncover what’s holding you back, what wants to emerge and be worked through.

​

More than talk - a whole person approach

​​

I’ve trained to a high standard with the UKCP, specialising in Gestalt therapy — a deeply creative and relational way of working that invites real transformation.

​

Together, we might:

​

• Tune into your body to understand how trauma or emotion shows up physically
   

• Use gentle, creative methods - like visualisation or exploring an image or phrase - to shift stuck patterns
   

• Engage in honest, two-way conversation that helps you reconnect to your voice
   

• Gently explore meaning, identity or spiritual questions if that feels important
   

Sometimes we might try small experiments in session - simple, creative ways to experience things differently. These are always optional, and we decide together what feels helpful.

​

This way of working is especially supportive if you’ve tried more traditional talk therapy but want something deeper - something that engages your whole self.

​

Support that meets you where you are

​

I’ve helped people navigate trauma, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, spiritual disconnection and more. Whatever you bring, I’ll meet it with compassion and respect.

​

This is a welcoming, LGBTQ+ affirming space.
