Paul Keshishian , BACP

Paul Keshishian supports people working through stress, anxiety, addictions, motivation difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. He brings experience helping clients cope with life changes and the emotional impact of grief, parenting pressures, career concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Paul focuses on practical ways to build motivation and resilience while addressing patterns that undermine wellbeing.

In therapy he fosters an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He emphasizes collaborative work, helping clients identify goals and develop strategies to manage difficult emotions, reduce unhelpful behaviours, and strengthen coping skills. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can require courage, and Paul offers steady support through that process.

He is a member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects his commitment to professional practice and ongoing development. Paul works with people who want practical, evidence-informed assistance to move forward from stress, addiction, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Evidence-informed approaches for online support

Paul uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on building skills to manage stress and anxiety. This work typically involves identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, practising coping strategies, and rehearsing new responses to everyday triggers to reduce distress and improve functioning.

He also applies structured, motivation-focused methods to address addictions and to support recovery. These approaches help people strengthen motivation, set achievable goals, and develop relapse-management strategies that fit their circumstances.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Paul works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt methods as required so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Paul is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without extensive travel, and they allow sessions to be scheduled around work, family, or other commitments.
