Something in you is ready
to change for good.
I work with people who are tired of circling the same patterns, people ready (even if "ready" feels like the wrong word) to step into somewhere new.
"The work isn't about fixing you. The work is about helping you hear yourself clearly."Paul-Alexander PissarroBook an appointment.
Your voice is there, waiting for you to find it.
You don't need to have it figured out. You only need to be honest.
The Creative in Transition
You are building something (or trying to), and the hardest obstacles are internal. You want a guide who has walked through the artistic creative process and won't hide behind theory.
The Person in Recovery
Sobriety cleared space in your life. Now comes the deeper work: discovering who you are without the habit that used to run your days. I have walked this path myself.
The Young Adult Finding Direction
Nobody handed you a blueprint, and the culture around you feels chaotic. You want honest guidance and to be spoken to as the adult you are becoming.
Anyone at a Turning Point
A career shift, a major loss, an empty house, or a world moving faster than ever. You've tried other approaches and suspect this won't be any different. Maybe it won't. But you've read this far, and that makes it worth one conversation.
A winding path is still a path.
I am Paul-Alexander Pissarro, a coach and artist based in London. I am French-American and the great-great-grandson of impressionist painter Camille Pissarro. I am here because of the artists and thinkers before me.
I trained as a chef in Paris, made films, produced conceptual art, got sober, and have maintained a daily Buddhist practice for over a decade. I have lost things I cared about and rebuilt from wherever I landed. None of it went according to plan, yet I wouldn't trade any of it.
I don't bring a rigid formula to our sessions. I bring a practice of total honesty (even when inconvenient) and years of helping others do the same. Most people I work with stand at a critical threshold in their creative work, their sobriety, or somewhere harder to define.

What this is (and what it isn't)
- It is not therapy. If you need therapy, I will gladly help you find a qualified professional.
- It is not a rigid program with generic worksheets or a certificate at the end. We adapt the process in real time.
It is an honest conversation between two people. One who has navigated deep transitions and shares insights when useful. The other is you.
Most of the time, that is enough to break down walls.
One session at a time.
We begin with a complimentary 30-minute consultation. If we align, we choose the format that fits.

For individuals in early recovery or long-term sobriety seeking a fuller, more meaningful life. Grounded in my personal recovery story and formal CCAR peer-support framework. (Note: Coaching, not clinical treatment.)
