About Paul
Paul Laskowski is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience in mental health work. He trained with a bachelor's degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University and has worked with people facing trauma, addiction, low mood and anxiety.
Paul uses a mix of counselling approaches rather than one fixed style. He draws on Person-Centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and combines those with solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to help people build practical skills and clearer thinking.
In sessions he concentrates on restoring healthier boundaries and on developing coping skills for everyday pressures. He talks through patterns that drain energy and looks at small, manageable changes a person can make. The focus is on what helps someone feel steadier day-to-day.
People come to him for a range of issues including stress, relationship strain, addictions, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem and struggles with anger. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiver strain and worries about life purpose.
Paul offers 30-45 minute live sessions and will discuss whether his way of working fits the person's needs. If it seems not to fit, he will help connect the person with another professional.
How sessions work
How Paul uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them and then taking actions that match what matters to the person. It can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape emotional reactions; it can help when trust, boundaries and connection feel difficult. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a collaborative, non-directive conversation where the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss different methods with the client and together decide what fits best given the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative bit happens in the first sessions and can change as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into busy schedules, keeping appointments that would be harder to travel to, and using shorter live sessions of 30-45 minutes when that fits a person's week. The listing indicates live sessions of 30-45 minutes are offered; please confirm the full range of session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to make online sessions work around work, caregiving and everyday life.
