Paul Keshishian, BACP

Paul Keshishian works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and the motivational challenges that can affect self-esteem and confidence. He has substantial experience supporting individuals through life changes and has spent significant time working in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, bringing practical insight into recovery and coping strategies.

Paul creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly, and he encourages clients to set achievable goals for greater wellbeing and motivation. He combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a coaching mindset to help clients build confidence, manage difficult emotions, and regain control over daily life.

Recognising that reaching out for help takes courage, Paul offers steady support throughout the change process, working collaboratively to identify priorities and practical steps forward. He is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his professional affiliation and commitment to ongoing development. Paul provides therapy in English and supports clients across a range of concerns including family issues, grief, intimacy-related matters, eating and parenting challenges, anger, career questions, and depression.

Evidence-Based Support and Flexible Online Care

Paul uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, helping clients to reduce worry and develop clearer ways of responding to stress. He also emphasises skills-based work to build coping strategies - such as managing cravings, regulating strong emotions, and improving interpersonal confidence - which can be especially useful for addictions, anxiety, and life transitions.

Alongside these approaches, Paul integrates goal-focused coaching to increase motivation and translate insights into real-world steps. He approaches the choice of method collaboratively, exploring a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting the approach as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Paul is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility so clients can access help from home or while balancing work and family commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to schedule sessions at convenient times, while allowing registered professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, outcome-focused support.
