About Robert

Robert Paczkowski is a counsellor who aims to make the first step feel manageable. He explains things plainly and listens without judgement, helping people name what is troubling them and decide what they want to change. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with options for short-term or longer work depending on need.

He uses a person-centred way of working, which means the conversation puts the client’s experience first.

Background and approach

He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Conversations can include wider life history when that helps make sense of current difficulties. Robert has seven years of practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical guidelines and has an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. He offers sessions in English and Polish and works with people across the United Kingdom. Common issues he helps with include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and LGBT matters.

He also supports people dealing with family of origin problems, immigration issues, body image and feelings of emptiness. Sessions can be arranged as short-term, medium-term or open-ended work. Robert discusses which approach feels right at the first meeting so the plan fits each person’s goals and circumstances.

Ways of working Robert names

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

How different approaches work online

Client-centred work places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the client brings, offering a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and choices. This approach can help with low self-worth, relationship worries and times of loss.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Through practical exercises and tasks between sessions, CBT can help with anxiety, stress and addictive behaviours by teaching new ways to respond to difficult thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a way of working that feels right. This collaborative process means the plan can change if something else suits better as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth, and messaging works well for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
