Paul Keshishian, BACP

Paul Keshishian supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, and challenges around motivation, self esteem, and confidence. He draws on substantial experience working in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre and has developed practical ways to help clients navigate life changes and difficult emotions. Paul creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly, and he encourages small, achievable steps toward a more fulfilling life.

He emphasizes collaboration, helping each person identify goals and build skills for coping under pressure, managing cravings, improving self-worth, and restoring relationships. Paul understands that reaching out for help takes courage, and he offers steady support through the early stages of change and beyond. He holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects his professional affiliation in the United Kingdom.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Paul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical coping skills to manage stress and anxiety, helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier responses. He also applies motivational strategies designed to support recovery from addictions and to strengthen determination and goal-oriented behavior, which can be useful for tackling cravings, enhancing motivation, and improving daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paul works collaboratively with each person to explore which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from wherever the client is located within the United Kingdom. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, different ways to communicate depending on comfort level, and continuity of care when attending in-person meetings is difficult.
