About Paul

Paul Laskowski is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience in mental health work in the United Kingdom. He trained with a Bachelor's Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University. He works with people who are coping with anxiety, stress, addiction, trauma, low mood and related concerns.

He uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods. Sessions are intended to help people re-establish boundaries and build coping skills for everyday challenges. Paul offers 30 to 45 minute live sessions and will suggest other options if he and a client decide a different match would be better.

Paul commonly uses Client-Centred methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours that make problems harder to manage. He also includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and Attachment-Based approaches when they suit a person's goals. These approaches are blended to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than technical descriptions.

Work in sessions often covers symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges linked to addiction or relationship problems. Paul also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and struggles with shame or isolation. He can discuss how different techniques might help with specific goals.

He speaks English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online options button.

How Paul uses therapeutic approaches for online work

Paul blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life actions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. ACT emphasises noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can support people who feel stuck or avoidant.

He also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early or current relationship patterns affect how someone connects and feels safe with others. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust as they learn what helps most for the person's situation.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography lists 30 to 45 minute live sessions but does not specify other formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. Talk with him about practical preferences so sessions fit into everyday life and feel manageable.
