Paul Keshishian

Paul Keshishian is a counsellor who focuses on anger alongside related concerns such as stress, anxiety and addictions. He aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what’s worrying them. He acknowledges that asking for help takes courage and offers support through that process.

Paul draws on eight years of experience and long-term work in substance rehabilitation to help people facing low self-esteem, loss of motivation, or difficult life changes. He spent 12 years supporting people at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, which informs how he talks about addiction, recovery and coping strategies.

Sessions with Paul are practical and conversational. He listens to the person’s story, helps name patterns that cause tension, and works with them to try new ways of responding. This can include finding small day-to-day steps to reduce stress, manage angry reactions, or rebuild confidence.

He also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating difficulties, parenting strain, career pressures and depression. Paul describes the room as a place to share feelings without fear of judgement and to test out different approaches to challenges.

People who choose Paul typically want straightforward, steady support and someone who will help them make manageable changes. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to ensure they match their needs.

How Paul adapts evidence-based approaches for online work

Paul uses established, evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on identifying triggers and learning alternative responses; it helps with anger, stress and anxiety by breaking down what leads to heated reactions and rehearsing calmer choices. Another common method teaches practical coping skills and everyday routines to support recovery from addictions and to rebuild confidence after life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Paul will talk through your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. He sees therapy as a collaborative process where the person and counsellor decide what to try next.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep therapy in their regular routine while they practise new responses between sessions.
