My conversation with Paul Jackson. Paul is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Brighton. He also spent 13 years working in residential care for homeless people struggling with addiction and other mental health issues.

I, Maurice Pigaht, am a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Brighton. I work with clients on anxiety, depression, loss, neurodiversity and relationships. I’m creating this podcast to promote discussion and better information around mental health support, therapy and psychology. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or ideas for contributions.
