Paul Keshishian helps people who feel stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or stuck after big life changes. He introduces a calm space for someone to talk through difficult feelings and worries. Paul writes in simple terms and focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions.

He has eight years of counselling experience and several years working in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre. That background gives him a lot of exposure to issues around addiction, motivation, and recovery.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with grief, anger, eating concerns, and work-related stress. In sessions he aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. He encourages clear goals and small, achievable changes.

The work is collaborative – the person he sees helps set the pace and priorities. Paul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. He can help with parenting pressures and intimacy-related worries by focusing on practical coping strategies.

He also offers coaching-style support for career and motivation challenges. Sessions are available in English and are offered through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Paul explains each option so people can choose what fits their routine best.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Paul draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people notice what works and build confidence through repeated success. Another approach looks at motivation and recovery, using structured conversations and goal setting to support people managing addictions or making big life changes. That method focuses on small, realistic actions and tracking progress over time.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Paul collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals and preferences. He checks in regularly to see what is helping and changes the plan if needed so the approach fits the person, not the other way round.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a full conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, reflective notes or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
