About Paul

Paul Laskowski holds a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University and has seven years' experience in mental health work. He has supported people managing trauma, addiction, low mood and anxiety. He uses an integrative style so sessions can draw on different ways of working to meet a person’s needs.

Paul aims to help clients re-establish healthy boundaries and build everyday coping skills. He offers 30 to 45 minute live sessions and will discuss the best length for each person. If either person feels the fit is not right, he will help find an alternative referral.

His practice often uses a person-centred stance alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. That means conversations focus on the client’s priorities, while also teaching tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He also brings solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing into sessions when useful.

People come to Paul for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, sleep difficulties, grief and parenting strain. He also works with issues such as codependency, caregiver stress, first responder pressures and career change. He describes his work as practical and compassionate, aiming to identify what matters and set achievable steps.

Sessions are delivered in English and Paul accepts international clients. He asks new clients to use the platform Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Paul uses cognitive behavioural therapy and a person-centred approach as key parts of his practice. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising alternative ways of thinking and coping; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. The person-centred approach focuses on the client’s priorities and lived experience, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where people set the pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits best for their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress or new issues emerge.

Paul offers live sessions of 30 to 45 minutes; please confirm exact session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, fit brief sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and keep momentum between appointments. It also allows practical work such as practicing sleep routines or cognitive exercises in everyday settings without needing to visit an office.
