Paul Allenby Counselling
Providing personal therapy for stress and anxiety related difficulties since 1999.
Do you suffer from stress, feelings of being overwhelmed, low confidence or experience anxiety that has a negative impact on your day to day life?
Paul Allenby provides private therapy for people who live and work in Stevenage who experience difficulties surrounding stress, feelings of being overwhelmed, low confidence and anxiety.
If any of these are having an impact on your life or there are other areas where you feel that talking through problematic areas could be of help, all you have to do is pick up the phone and talk to Paul for an informal and no obligation chat to see if his therapeutic approach could work for you.
Paul provides a practical approach to managing stress and anxiety through the skills of counselling, CBT and mindfulness practices and positive outcomes are achieved by developing effective coping mechanisms.
Not one therapy fits all for people who experience stress and anxiety, so Paul has developed a style of therapy that successfully adapts to different therapeutic models to each clients needs to get the best results possible.
Effective therapy for stress and anxiety related difficulties is available in Stevenage daytimes, evenings and weekends.
The counselling part of any therapy session allows yourself time to explore and understand any problems or difficulty you experience. We achieve this without needlessly dwelling on your past but providing you with the mechanism to make sense of how you are feeling.
CBT helps to get a better understanding how thoughts can affect how you feel and act. You will learn how to manage
and challenge thoughts and interpretations. CBT helps to change current actions and behaviour and create new and positive habits of response.
Mindfulness can help you live your life more in the present moment rather than following on autopilot. We will teach you how to be more mindful - stepping back and allowing yourself to experience any given moment with a clearer mindset and focusing on more positive experiences.
Our clients are our best source of referral.
“Our experience with Paul was great. Communication had deteriorated where we would be arguing much of our time together. Paul’s relaxed nature and friendly approach helped us through this difficult time in our relationship and thankfully we are still together - and happy.”

“I developed anxious thoughts and feelings over a couple of years and were having a major impact on my life and relationship. Paul helped me to slow down and rationalise my thoughts. The impact has been great with my feelings of anxiety under control .”

Anger Management Counselling
Our therapy for anger management will help you develop positive responses that will help you step back from immediate tense feelings, reduce the stress and tension they provoke and challenge and rationalise the negative thoughts and interpretations that ‘justify’ your anger response.
Marriage and Relationship Counselling

Our marriage and relationship counselling is designed to be solution focused without needlessly dwelling on the past.
Solution focused personal CBT counselling puts you in control.
CBT counselling puts you in control by first helping you understand and make sense of the problems or difficulties you experience but doing so without needlessly dwelling on the past.
CBT is a unique therapy simply because it's not just about talking about how you feel. Our CBT sessions will help you develop practical tools to manage the problems and difficulties you experience; effectively creating a toolbox of skills and coping mechanisms that are practical and sustainable.
Rather than just talking about the areas in your life that are problematic, CBT counselling gives you the opportunity to create positive and sustainable change.
