Paul Laskowski

Paul Laskowski holds a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University and has seven years of experience in mental health work. He has spent that time supporting people dealing with trauma, addiction, low mood and anxiety. Paul writes plainly and offers a steady, practical approach to difficult problems.

He blends different counselling styles so each person gets what fits them best. Sessions focus on building clearer boundaries and practical coping skills. Paul uses person-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas, solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to shape the work.

Clients can expect conversations that are straightforward and collaborative. Paul aims to help people identify small, manageable steps to feel better. He emphasises respect and aims to tailor each session to individual needs.

Paul also addresses problems such as grief, relationship and intimacy issues, stress, ADHD and addictions. He lists hospice and end-of-life counselling among his focus areas and is prepared to discuss related concerns in sessions. If a different specialist would suit a person better, he will help connect them with other resources.

Sessions are offered as 30 to 45 minute live appointments. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions before committing to a course of work. The style is practical, compassionate and intended to help people move forward from stuck patterns.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them and to focus on the values that matter most. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotional responses and improving how people express and manage strong feelings in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques as the work unfolds. Clients and the therapist choose methods together rather than a single fixed plan.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list all formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter live appointments when that suits a schedule. It can also support steady momentum between sessions by keeping regular appointment times despite life changes.
