About Paul

Paul Laskowski works with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low mood and relationship concerns using an integrative approach that draws on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience in mental health services.

Paul gained a Bachelor's degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University. He has worked alongside people affected by trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression during his seven years in practice. He offers live sessions that typically last 30 to 45 minutes.

His way of working mixes person-centred counselling with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. He also uses elements of solution-focused work and motivational interviewing to support change. In short sessions he will help you identify patterns, try different strategies and review what is most useful.

In sessions Paul focuses on boundaries, coping strategies and skill-building. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. He also addresses issues such as grief, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting stress and workplace strain.

Paul aims to be open about fit and outcome. If either person feels the relationship is not right, he will support finding another counsellor. He accepts international clients and runs a practice based in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Paul uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-led action rather than trying to remove difficult feelings; it can help with anxiety, stress and problems that come from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours with practical exercises, which can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses in close relationships and can help people understand and change painful interaction patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Paul will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then suggest ways of working. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats with Paul before booking, as the biography lists only live sessions of 30 to 45 minutes. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone choose not to use video if they prefer a phone conversation or a quieter, lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to provide consistent, regular contact while adapting methods like CBT and ACT to a digital setting.
