Paul Keshishian , BACP

Paul Keshishian is a UK-based therapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, motivation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. He brings focused experience working in drug and alcohol rehabilitation settings and offers practical guidance for issues such as grief, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting, anger, career questions, eating problems, and depression. He also integrates coaching skills to help clients move toward clearer goals and sustained change.

Paul takes a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach, establishing an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely and honestly. He emphasizes motivation and confidence building, helping clients identify practical steps and strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Paul recognizes that reaching out for support is a courageous first step, and he aims to accompany clients through that process with steady, empathetic guidance.

He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates alignment with established professional standards for counselling practice. Paul provides therapy in English and offers flexible session formats to fit different schedules and needs. His work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Evidence-based techniques for online recovery and growth

Paul uses evidence-based, cognitive-oriented techniques to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress. These strategies teach practical ways to manage symptoms and build emotional resilience, helping people respond differently to challenging situations.

He also applies motivation-enhancing and relapse-prevention strategies tailored for people coping with addictions and behavior change. These approaches focus on strengthening personal motivation, identifying triggers, and developing concrete plans to support sustained progress and healthier routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Paul collaborates with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and he adapts methods over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Paul is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to access support from home, during breaks, or between other commitments, and they allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
