About Paul
Paul Laskowski is a counsellor with a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University. He has seven years of experience supporting people who struggle with low mood, anxiety, trauma and addiction. Paul takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions and aims to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.
Paul works in a collaborative way. He draws on person-centred listening to understand what matters to each person.
Background and approach
He also uses cognitive behavioural strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Sessions typically focus on setting clear goals and building skills that people can use between meetings. People can expect short, focused live sessions of around 30 to 45 minutes.
Paul emphasises clear boundaries and practical coping tools, such as behavioural experiments, breathing and grounding exercises, and steps to improve sleep and daily routine. He also offers help with addiction, relationship challenges, grief and career stress. Paul believes the therapeutic relationship itself is important.
He aims to create a compassionate space where people can explore difficult experiences and test new ways of coping. If it becomes clear another counsellor would be a better match, he is willing to help find someone else. Paul is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
Sessions are offered in English and he has experience working with issues including ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, parenting stress and first responder concerns.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental support to help people explore what matters and find their own solutions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test new ideas, change unhelpful patterns and build routines that support better sleep, mood and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss options and tailor sessions to the person's needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from wherever they are. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text messaging is handy for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving or fitting support into busy days. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try different ways of meeting without travelling.
