About Paul
Paul Laskowski is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience in mental health work. He studied counselling and psychotherapy at Bath Spa University and has supported people facing trauma, addiction, low mood and anxiety. Paul offers short live sessions of 30 to 45 minutes and works in English. He accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.
Paul uses an integrative way of working that draws on several counselling styles. In practice this means conversations focus on practical skills, clearer thinking and stronger personal boundaries. He often blends person-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques, solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to help people manage day-to-day struggles.
Sessions aim to identify patterns that make problems worse and then try different ways of responding. That can include setting small, realistic tasks between sessions and learning ways to notice unhelpful thoughts. The emphasis is on what people can do differently now to reduce distress and improve coping.
People contact Paul for issues including stress, addictions, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, relationship problems and sleep or eating difficulties. He also lists support for ADHD, bipolar and career concerns among his focus areas. Paul says he will suggest an alternate referral if the match does not feel right.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled. Costs vary with location and the subscription can be ended at any time. For further arrangements readers are asked to use the online therapy options button to progress the sign-up.
How sessions work
How Paul’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that match those values. It commonly supports stress, anxiety and issues where avoidance or unhelpful habits are part of the problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns that feed distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and some addictive behaviours. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy concerns and patterns in close relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
His profile notes 30 to 45 minute live sessions; please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, allow shorter focused check-ins and remove travel time. It also lets people try methods such as behavioural experiments or thought records between sessions, so practical changes are easier to test in everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support steady progress without promising a particular outcome.
