My name is Paul Tutton. My original background is in business, where I spent a long career working on numerous change projects. Over time, I became aware my interests lay more in people aspects of change than technology. I received repeated feedback others found me approachable and comfortable to talk to about issues, either work or personally related. I therefore decided to qualify as a life and business coach. Later, seeking both greater relational depth and to be able to support clients having more long established, deeper issues, I started psychotherapy training.

Today, I am passionate about supporting clients with a wide range of issues. It could be a few sessions to discuss a specific business issue (e.g. business plan for a new venture), space to explore a change of direction in life (e.g. after divorce, retirement, redundancy) or open-ended sessions to work through issues of identity, fixed patterns of behaviour or the effect past events may still be having in the here-and-now. My Coaching and Psychotherapy pages list the areas I work in.

I have the following relevant qualifications and/or on-going trainings:

• UKCP accredited diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy (Metanoia Institute, London & SCPTI, Scarborough) - 2017-2023

• Diploma in Life and Business Coaching; NLP Practitioner (UKCPD, Swindon) - 2014

• Masters in Business Administration (MBA) (Open University) - 2002

• BA (Mathematics) (Oxford University) - 1984
