About Paul
Paul Keshishian is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He supports those coping with addictions and motivation issues, and works on self-esteem and confidence. He aims to make the first step easier for anyone looking for a more fulfilling life.
Paul draws on eight years of professional experience and a longer history working in substance misuse settings. That background gave him practical experience supporting people through major life changes and recovery from alcohol and drug problems.
Background and approach
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Paul invites people to talk about what they feel and think, then helps set small steps to build confidence and momentum.
He emphasises honesty and gentle challenge rather than jargon or tests. Paul creates a calm atmosphere where clients can explore grief, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, anger and career pressures. He also works with eating concerns and people looking for coaching-style support for life direction.
People who prefer clear structure and practical steps tend to find his style useful. He balances listening with action planning so progress is visible. If someone wants help sorting priorities, managing cravings, or reducing anxiety, Paul offers steady, down-to-earth support.

Online support
Another key approach is relapse-prevention style work drawn from addiction recovery practice. It looks at triggers, coping strategies and building routines to reduce harmful behaviours and increase motivation. That kind of work often helps people with addictions, cravings and maintaining progress after setbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed. The plan evolves through regular review so clients know what is being tried and why.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who find video tiring. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, day-to-day tracking and easier scheduling around work or family commitments. Overall, online therapy can make it simpler to keep regular contact and follow through on agreed steps.
