Paul Glynn

Paul is an outstanding therapist. He brings integrity, empathy, expert perspective, attentive listening, sensitivity, and an envy-inducing memory for detail to the process of empowering his clients to heal. I saw these qualities firsthand after I approached Paul following a personal setback. Put simply, Paul’s targeted approach to therapy worked so well for me that when a separate significant challenge arose in my life two years later, I sought out Paul’s help again – and found my conversations with him to be just as effective. With hindsight, I can distill Paul’s gift to me into a single word: progress. It’s as if each time I met with him, Paul with his characteristic subtlety and insightful questioning made the difference for me between staying stuck and moving forward.

I had sessions with Paul throughout the pandemic which was an extremely challenging time for me. I struggled to cope with the negative emotions that arose from the end of a long-term relationship as well as the feelings of anxiety, isolation and loneliness being in lockdown by myself.

Paul was so easy to talk to and provided me with the kind, caring and empathetic ear
that I needed during significant life changes and the intense emotions that came with it. Initially, I felt quite anxious being so emotionally vulnerable with a man, but Paul helped me work through that fear and anxiety, and I soon felt safe opening up during our sessions.

Paul is incredibly kind, supportive, patient and empathetic. He’s also sharp and alert which was helpful during my many rants and tangents – he really helped keep me on course. Our sessions had a huge impact on my life; I quit smoking, I take better care of myself, I am more emotionally and financially stable, and I am in a secure relationship. Paul would give me full credit for all of that, but I owe a great deal to our sessions.

I highly recommend working with Paul and I have his contact details neatly stored if I need a little extra emotional support in the future. Thank you Paul.

I have always been open to counselling but my partner never has; however earlier this year when we were going through make or break marriage difficulties, my partner found Klearminds. I am very thankful he did, as we found Paul instrumental in making us stay together by understanding each other’s views. We have finished our initial sessions with Paul and will continue with sessions as and when required. Thank you for all of your help Paul!

Paul’s background working with academics and university mental health services, and continued work in such fields often provided helpful comforts of the experiences I was going through and made me feel that I was not alone. Working with Paul was a pleasure and though by the end we were, from my perspective, working on very different topics than what we started on Paul as always was able to show how things were connected when applicable and demonstrate the progress I was showing, holding that often necessary mirror up to my face so I could see where I was. I always felt listened to, and could tell that previous conversations and small notes made throughout almost 2 years were remembered, making me feel that I had a dedicated therapist while I was in the session and not one who’s attention was elsewhere.

Paul was amazing. I am so unbelievably grateful for the work he’s done with me. I’ve gone through a lot of therapists and I have a hard time trusting them (or their opinions). I am not an easy client to have, but Paul is a model of intelligence, kindness, understanding, and patience. He was an integral part of getting me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. He is very good at identifying what’s at the root of issues and he knows how to guide you without beating you over the head. He is also very professional. I, truly, cannot recommend him enough. I can’t speak for the other therapists, but KlearMinds seems to put thought and care into matching their clients with the right therapist. When I initially called, I don’t remember who I talked to but she was a very kind woman who basically gave me a free therapy session, spending almost an hour on the phone with me, before matching me with the best therapist I’ve ever had. And honestly I almost rejected him and asked for another because he was a man and I don’t usually trust men… thank God I trusted their recommendation and didn’t do that!! I highly recommend their services!
