Paul Cromie, NCPS
Paul Cromie trained and works as an integrative counsellor.
About Paul
Paul Cromie trained and works as an integrative counsellor. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Paul practises in Northern Ireland and combines personal counselling with agency work.
Paul draws on his background in broadcasting and journalism to help people tell their story in a clear way. He spent over ten years as a daily news journalist and as a radio broadcaster and producer.
Background and approach
He has also helped college students begin careers in broadcasting and managed a college radio station. In sessions Paul places a strong emphasis on person-centred work. That means the client leads the agenda and sets the pace.
He supports people to speak about what matters to them rather than following a therapist-led script. He also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when these fit a person's needs. Those approaches can help with pacing anxious thoughts, identifying unhelpful patterns, and building small habits that feel manageable.
Paul works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. He also focuses on attachment and abandonment, body image, communication problems, panic attacks and related areas. He aims to create a steady, straightforward space to talk and think things through.
During an initial meeting Paul will go through a brief counselling agreement before inviting the person to share their story. He encourages people to recognise the step of seeking help as a positive, practical move towards clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

Approaches Paul lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try and when to adjust them. This means treatments can shift over time according to what helps most in practice.
Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule appointments around work or family time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited, while others use sessions for longer reflective work; the format can be adapted once session options are confirmed. Please check the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered and how it will fit your routine.
