Dr. Paul Loosemore
DIRECTOR OF THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT AND COUNSELING CENTER
Assistant Professor of Counseling
Dr. Paul Loosemore joined Covenant Seminary’s faculty in 2020 as Assistant Professor of Counseling. In 2024 he was named Director of the Counseling Department and the Seminary’s Counseling Center. He is also Clinical Director of St. Louis Counseling Center.
He completed a PhD in counselor education and supervision from Regent University, is a graduate of Covenant Seminary’s MAC program (MAC ’15), and also holds a Bachelor of Advertising from Gloucestershire University, and an MA in Interior Design from Portsmouth University—both in England. Dr. Loosemore has worked as a licensed professional counselor since graduating from Covenant’s program, including co-founding the St. Louis Counseling Center.
He has previously taught counseling courses as an adjunct professor of counseling at various institutions, and he is active in the broader academic discussion surrounding counseling. His PhD research focused on the impact of a relationship with God and how it relates to character growth and well-being. As a counselor, he has experience working with individuals, couples, and groups, with special focus on marriage concerns, trauma and abuse, relational distress, and grief and loss.
He is invested in seeking and creating beauty and culture in our communities. Beyond this, he loves to explore the outdoors (hiking, climbing, mountain biking), and playing pool.
He and his wife, Courtney, have two daughters and a son.
