Paul Keshishian, BACP

Paul Keshishian helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low confidence, or life changes. He supports those struggling with addictions and motivation. He aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find clearer ways forward.

He draws on eight years of professional practice alongside a longer period working in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre. That hands-on background gives him direct experience of addiction-related issues and the day-to-day realities people face while trying to change.

In sessions he prioritises an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. He works with clients to set practical goals and to build motivation and confidence over time. Conversations are plain and direct, focused on what will help next.

Paul also supports people dealing with grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, eating issues, anger, parenting strain, career decisions and depression. He uses straightforward coaching-style work when clients need help planning steps and maintaining momentum.

People who choose him can expect calm, steady support and practical problem-solving. He encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change. If you want to explore how therapy might fit into your life, he invites you to start the conversation.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Paul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach helps people recognise unhelpful thinking and develop new habits of thought and behaviour; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing how day-to-day reactions happen. Another approach he uses emphasises step-by-step planning and coaching to boost motivation and follow-through, which is useful for addictions, career moves or managing life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to suit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are offered, tried, and adjusted based on what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they use straightforward exercises, planning and review that fit into everyday life.
