Paul Henderson BSc. FACCPH, MNCP (Snr Accred.) Author

Paul is the founder of the United Kingdom Academy of Integrative Therapy (U.K.A.I.T.). After developing a profound interest in the mind / body connection, he spent a ten year period training in both the personal and transpersonal aspects of human development.

During the course of his degree, he studied child development and social psychology. A growing interest in the psychodynamic strand of psychology (which holds the view that childhood experience shapes psychological development and relationships in adulthood), left Paul with a strong desire to investigate the mechanisms of the subconscious and unconscious minds; consequently, after attaining a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy, he underwent a four year formal training period in psychodynamic counselling / psychotherapy. In addition, Paul has attained Practitioner, Master Practitioner, and Trainer level certification in NLP.

Recently, Paul established ‘Alcoholic to Alchemist’. A unique 12 step philosophy for optimal living devised to help people address problematic alcohol consumption and the issues that arise from it. In 2015, Paul received lottery funding for this venture. Alcoholic to Alchemist is the title of Paul’s book, which contains the 12 Step Philosophy For Optimal Living

From a transpersonal perspective, Paul has studied the mechanisms of consciousness through the teachings of Vedic science, and attained his master / teacher degree in Reiki. In addition, he has travelled extensively conducting workshops and seminars on a wide variety of psychological and esoteric topics. His passion for the holistic approach to self development led to his first novel – In This World But Not Of IT – a parable that integrates the domains of mind, body and spirit, into a compelling adventure.
