About Paul

Paul Laskowski is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years' experience in mental health services. He trained with a Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and low mood. He also supports people dealing with relationship and family problems, grief, intimacy issues and challenges like sleep or eating concerns.

Paul describes an integrative practice that draws on several approaches. Sessions focus on re-establishing boundaries and building practical coping skills. He uses talking, reflective listening and goal-focused work to help people manage life changes and ongoing pressures.

His stated methods include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These are mixed into a plan that fits the person in front of him rather than a single formula.

Paul offers shorter live sessions of around 30 to 45 minutes. He explains options and works with a person to agree a way forward, and if the match feels wrong he will help with a referral to another practitioner.

Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Paul blends approaches for remote sessions

Paul uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at difficult-to-name feelings and how these affect relationships and personal patterns. EFT can help when emotions feel confusing and when people want clearer ways to express needs.

He also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and small steps to act in line with what matters. Attachment-Based work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people recognise repeat patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss your goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is revisited as sessions proceed, so the plan can change if something does not fit.

The profile states Paul offers live sessions of about 30 to 45 minutes, so please confirm exact online formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused check-ins when that suits a schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, emotional processing and behavioural tasks to remote work so therapy stays practical and centred on your goals.
