About Paul

Paul Laskowski is a counsellor with a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University and seven years' experience in mental health services. He has supported people coping with trauma, addiction, low mood and anxiety. He works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including for international clients.

Paul uses a straightforward, person-centred stance in sessions. He focuses on building a respectful working relationship and helping people set clearer boundaries.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and aimed at improving day-to-day coping skills. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviours. When motivation is low he uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.

These approaches are blended to match what each person needs. In conversation Paul will listen and help clients notice patterns that keep problems going. Together they practise skills for anxiety, sleep, anger and addictive behaviours.

He also addresses issues such as grief, relationship strain, parenting stress and career uncertainty. Appointments are usually 30 to 45 minutes long. If a client and Paul agree the match is not right, he can assist in finding an alternative.

He aims to make therapy practical and compassionate, helping people move toward clearer choices and steadier routines.

Ways of working Paul names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on values-led action; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, sleep and depressive symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotional responses and reshaping how people relate to their feelings, which can be useful for relationship stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul discusses goals and preferences with each person and blends methods as needed. The choice of method is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and working on skills in real time. Phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, quick reflections or when writing things out helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with everyday life and commitments.
