About Paul

Paul Laskowski, BACP, trained with a Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy from Bath Spa University. He has spent seven years working in mental health, helping people facing trauma, addiction, low mood and anxiety. He describes his work as collaborative and practical, focusing on everyday steps that make life more manageable.

Paul adapts his approach to each person. He draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused ideas to help people build healthier boundaries.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to teach simple coping skills and ways to respond differently to old patterns. He often helps with stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and issues around self-esteem. He also works with addiction, bipolar and ADHD-related challenges, and supports people dealing with career change, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.

Paul uses brief live sessions of 30 to 45 minutes when that fits a person’s needs. He is open to discussing a change of direction if the match is not right and can help refer onwards when necessary. People who choose him can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where the therapist listens first and then suggests practical steps.

The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. He is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. His background and flexible approach aim to make therapy useful for people seeking clear support with trauma, addiction and everyday mental health challenges.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Trauma-focused work aims to address the impact of past harm and reduce patterns that keep people feeling stuck. It often uses grounded, step-by-step techniques to help people feel safer in their day-to-day and respond differently to triggers.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting controlled by them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. This is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people recognise those patterns and try new ways of connecting and setting boundaries in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping continuity between sessions.
