Paul Keshishian , BACP

Paul Keshishian is a UK-based therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and the challenges of life transitions. He works with clients on confidence and motivation, and offers focused help around relationships, family issues, grief, parenting, career concerns, anger, eating issues, and intimacy-related matters. Paul combines practical coaching with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people identify goals and develop coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Paul brings experience from working in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, where he gained extensive exposure to addiction recovery and relapse prevention. He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, and he encourages clients to take the first brave steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Paul holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists.

He offers support in English and works collaboratively with clients to tailor the pace and focus of therapy according to individual needs and priorities. Paul aims to be a steady, practical partner in the process of change and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Paul uses evidence-based techniques that emphasise practical coping skills and forward-focused coaching. One approach focuses on building skills for managing stress and anxiety through structured strategies that help people notice patterns, reduce overwhelm, and regain day-to-day functioning. This work is suited to those dealing with persistent worry, workplace pressure, or life transitions.

Another strand of Paul’s practice combines coaching-style goal setting with motivational support for people facing addictions or major life changes. This approach helps clients clarify priorities, set achievable steps, and maintain momentum during recovery or new beginnings. It is action-oriented while remaining sensitive to emotional and relational needs.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic journey, and Paul works collaboratively with clients to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt methods over time so the work remains responsive.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access regular support. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow continuity of care across distances within the United Kingdom, and make it simpler to integrate therapy into everyday life.
