Paul North is an experienced psychologist with over three decades of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. He supports people with anxiety, stress, trauma and emotional regulation difficulties, using a calm, practical and compassionate approach that helps people feel safer, more understood and more connected.

Paul is trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy for trauma and distressing life experiences, and integrates this with trauma-informed and polyvagal-based approaches to support recovery and emotional regulation. His work focuses on helping both children and adults understand what their nervous system is doing and how to gently bring themselves back to a sense of safety.

Paul is the author of Polyvagal Parenting, a parenting book due for global release in September 2026, which translates modern neuroscience into everyday strategies for building calm, connection and emotional resilience at home. Dr Stephen Porges, creator of Polyvagal Theory, described the book as “profound” in its ability to translate complex science into everyday language. Paul is also co-author of the children’s book Safe and Sound, which introduces young children to ideas about fear, feelings and how to return to a sense of safety in a gentle and reassuring way.

In addition to his clinical work, Paul presents nationally and internationally on parenting, trauma recovery and nervous system regulation, helping both professionals and parents better understand how emotional wellbeing develops across childhood and into adulthood.

Before becoming a psychologist, Paul was a nationally ranked junior tennis player. These days, he enjoys playing pickleball in his spare time and breeding alpacas, which he describes as excellent teachers of calm presence and patience.
