About Robert
Robert Paczkowski is a counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. He lists stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT issues, family concerns, grief, parenting, anger and self-esteem among the areas he works with.
He trained as a Person Centred counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means he focuses on hearing the person and accepting them without judgement while they talk through what matters to them. He offers short-term, medium-term and open-ended therapy and will discuss which approach might fit at the first meeting.
Sessions are non-directive and aim to let the client lead the pace and content. In practice this looks like listening carefully, reflecting back what is said, and gently helping people notice patterns that affect their day-to-day life. He also works with practical issues such as anger, addictions and work-related stress.
Robert uses a mix of approaches including client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused techniques. That lets him respond to immediate problems and to longer-standing difficulties when they come up.
He speaks English and Polish. He follows the ethical guidance of the BACP and holds an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. For someone feeling anxious about social situations, meeting a counsellor who will listen and help decide next steps can be a first practical move.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. Online sessions can be a place to speak freely while the counsellor reflects what you say and helps you feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions; online work can include talking through situations and trying practical strategies between sessions. Psychodynamic ideas explore patterns from the past that show up now; this can be discussed online to identify long-standing habits and responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Robert will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try ways of working that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats he uses, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example a shorter check-in can work around a break at work, phone-only meetings mean you do not have to be on camera, and remote sessions remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people stick with the work and apply what they discuss to daily situations.
