About Paul

Paul Keshishian is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and low self-esteem. He supports those coping with life changes, grief, anger and career concerns. He aims to create an open space where people can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgment.

Paul draws on eight years of therapeutic experience alongside a longer history working in substance misuse settings. That background means he is used to supporting people with motivation, recovery and the practical challenges addiction can bring.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual. In meetings Paul encourages honest conversation about thoughts and behaviours. He pays attention to practical steps that can ease day-to-day pressure.

He also works on building confidence and problem solving for work and relationships. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental style that combines listening with practical suggestions. He offers coaching-style support when helpful, to help people set realistic goals and track progress.

The aim is to help people move from feeling stuck to making small, sustainable changes. Paul holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He practices in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

If someone needs help deciding whether to try therapy, Paul invites a short conversation to see if his approach fits their needs.

How Paul uses practical approaches in online therapy

Paul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on everyday problems and clear steps forward. One approach concentrates on behaviour and routine - identifying unhelpful habits, introducing small changes and building new routines to reduce anxiety and manage cravings. This can help people struggling with addictions, motivation or low mood. Another approach emphasises talking through feelings and practical coping skills. It helps people make sense of emotions, improve self-esteem and find better ways to respond in stressful situations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paul will listen to a person’s priorities, try different ways of working and adjust plans as needs change. He aims to agree on goals together and review progress so therapy always stays relevant to the person’s life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit those who prefer no camera, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messages help keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
