Paul Laskowski, BACP

Paul Laskowski holds a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University and has worked in mental health for seven years. He has spent that time supporting people facing trauma, addiction, low mood and anxiety. His practice blends several counselling styles into an individualised approach. Paul aims to help people regain healthy boundaries and build practical coping skills.

Paul describes his work as collaborative and straightforward. He uses a person-centred stance that keeps the client's experience central. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused ideas to set clear goals. Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses when people want to change behaviour.

Sessions are offered as 30 to 45 minute live appointments according to the biography. Paul says he will work with people to meet their needs and goals, and will assist with re-matching if the therapeutic fit is not right. He aims to provide a compassionate, individualised experience rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

His background in counselling and psychotherapy and years in mental health services inform how he structures sessions. Expect practical conversation, skill-building and attention to relationship boundaries. Paul prefers a direct, supportive style that focuses on what helps day to day.

People seeking help with stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship strain or life changes may find his blend of approaches useful. He supports discussions about grief, parenting concerns, career strain, ADHD and other listed areas, and adapts the work to each person’s priorities.

How Paul’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and take actions that matter, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help when someone is stuck during big life changes or coping with grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits people who want clear techniques to change responses to stress or worry.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try methods that fit the person. Sessions may be adjusted over time, with regular check-ins to make sure the work is useful and relevant.

The original biography specifies live sessions of 30 to 45 minutes; please confirm current session formats and scheduling when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter, focused check-ins. It also lets people try different ways of working from where they are and see what helps most before committing to a longer plan.
