About Paul
Paul Laskowski is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years working in mental health. He trained at Bath Spa University and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low mood and anger among other concerns.
Paul uses a mix of counselling styles rather than one fixed method. In sessions he draws on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people name patterns that cause distress. He also uses solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to set practical steps forward.
Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer boundaries. Paul aims to help people spot unhelpful thinking, test new ways of responding, and practise short, manageable changes between meetings. He offers 30 to 45 minute live sessions to fit into busy schedules.
He describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. If either person feels the match is not right, he will assist with finding another practitioner. Paul accepts international clients and works in English.
Beyond core issues like depression and anxiety, Paul lists additional areas such as caregiving stress, codependency, recovery from infidelity and first responder concerns. His approach is straightforward and task-oriented, with an eye on how skills learned in session apply to everyday life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used and online working
Paul commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and learning to act in line with them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. CBT helps people spot thinking patterns that fuel reactions and then test more helpful ways of responding.He also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early relationships affect current responses. That perspective can be useful for issues like intimacy-related problems, relationship conflict and anger that ties back to past hurts. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences and adjust the plan as things change.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking because the profile lists live sessions of 30 to 45 minutes but does not specify other formats. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work or caring responsibilities, allow shorter focused check-ins, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment-based work to remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical skills and everyday application.
