About Robert
Robert Paczkowski welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He writes plainly and listens closely, offering a calm space to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship worries and issues connected to sexual orientation. Robert aims to help people find practical steps that fit their life and values.
Robert is a Person Centred counsellor with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He adheres to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS.
Background and approach
He describes his sessions as non-directive and non-judgemental, and says people are offered respect and acceptance throughout their time together. In sessions he works with short-term plans, medium-term work and open-ended therapy depending on what someone needs. He can talk through addictions, anger, parenting stresses, family of origin matters, bereavement and issues such as body image or isolation.
He also lists LGBT concerns and immigration-related stress among areas he addresses. Robert prefers to find the best way forward with each person rather than impose a single method. He balances listening with practical suggestions when helpful.
Early meetings are used to agree the length and focus of therapy so people know what to expect. Sessions are offered in English and Polish to reflect his language skills. People considering counselling are encouraged to start with a brief matching step and then arrange an initial appointment that suits their circumstances.

How his approaches translate to online counselling
Robert draws on Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a way that aims to be straightforward and practical. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and accepted; the counsellor follows the person's lead and helps them make sense of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers simple exercises to test and change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Robert will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match those aims. He sees therapy as a team effort where the method is adapted as the work develops.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, such as using sessions during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or a series of focused meetings when people want to tackle a specific problem quickly. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use these approaches, commonly find online sessions a practical way to continue therapy while balancing other commitments.
