About Robert
Robert Paczkowski offers a calm, non-judgemental place to talk when life feels overwhelming. He is a counsellor with seven years' experience who aims to listen and help people find clearer ways forward. Robert is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds NCPS credentials. He speaks English and Polish and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Robert uses a client-centred, person-focused style that prioritises what matters to each person. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns, with the counsellor offering understanding, reflection and support rather than directives. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes where that fits.
He has experience across short-term, medium-term and open-ended work, and will discuss the right approach at the first meeting. Robert has worked with issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma and LGBT matters. He also helps with family of origin problems, immigration stress and feelings of isolation.
People can expect straightforward sessions that focus on listening, clarification and practical next steps when useful. Robert follows the BACP ethical guidelines and holds an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. If someone prefers to use Polish, he can offer sessions in that language.
To begin, a person completes the Start Therapy button process and a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session according to the therapist’s availability. He uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches that guide online work and what they involve
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judging and helps people find their own answers through reflection and understanding. This approach can help when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck or simply needs a space to be heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. It is practical and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by introducing small experiments and clearer ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process means the approach can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life and removing travel time so check-ins are quicker. Some people prefer audio-only check-ins to reduce screen time, while others find video helpful for face-to-face feeling; please confirm which session formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support people who live far away or have tight schedules.
