About Paul
Paul Keshishian offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. He helps with addiction-related concerns, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Paul aims to make the first step easier and less uncertain for anyone thinking about getting help.
Paul draws on eight years of experience in therapeutic roles and a longer period working in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre. That background informs a calm, understanding approach when talking about difficult topics.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small steps that can be tried between meetings. In sessions he prioritises a non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Conversations are practical and plainspoken, with attention to building motivation and coping skills.
He works with people to set realistic goals and to track progress over time. People who come for support might explore patterns that feed stress or low mood, plan changes to daily routines, or work on reducing the hold of addictive behaviours. Paul also supports those dealing with grief, anger, intimacy questions, eating concerns, parenting pressures and career decisions.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits you. The subscription model used allows sessions to be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. This collaborative process means plans are adapted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you talk face to face when you prefer visual connection. Phone sessions can fit around work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins, written reflections and people who find typing easier than speaking. These options can make it simpler to keep therapy going around daily commitments.
