About Paul
Paul Laskowski is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years’ experience in UK mental health services. 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 approaches rather than one fixed method. He commonly draws on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make practical changes. He also uses solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing when the moment calls for clearer short-term goals.
Sessions are collaborative. Paul aims to help people re-establish boundaries and develop coping skills for everyday pressures. He offers 30 to 45 minute live sessions and will discuss pacing and focus according to each person’s needs.
He has a particular interest in issues that affect young adults such as stress, anxiety, relationship worries, career uncertainty and feeling stuck after life changes. He also works with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns and ADHD-related struggles among other areas listed on his profile.
If work together doesn’t feel right, he will support a referral to another professional. Paul keeps communication straightforward and practical, and he can explain the different methods he uses so people can choose what feels most useful.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Paul commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter, which can help with feeling adrift and motivation problems. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviours maintain stress and anxiety and teaches practical steps to change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person’s goals, symptoms and preferences. That means therapy is collaborative - both therapist and client decide what to try and adjust it as they go.
The original biography mentions 30 to 45 minute live sessions but does not list other formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different approaches via online meetings, and Paul can explain how a chosen method will be used in remote sessions.
