About Robert
Robert Paczkowski is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has seven years’ experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. He sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting pressures, grief and concerns around self‑esteem and identity. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and international clients may be accepted.
He works from a person‑centred perspective and prioritises listening without judgement. That means sessions begin with the client’s concerns and pace. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, psychodynamic thinking to consider past patterns, and solution‑focused techniques for practical next steps.
Robert offers short‑term, medium‑term and open‑ended work and will discuss which approach might suit a client at the first meeting. He aims to help people talk through difficult feelings, reduce unhelpful patterns, and identify small, manageable changes they can try between sessions.
His practice includes support for people facing addiction, anger, family of origin difficulties, immigration stress, body image and issues linked to separation or divorce. He lists LGBT concerns and domestic violence among his areas of work, and he responds to problems such as isolation, guilt, and a lack of life purpose.
He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical guidelines as a BACP member and holds an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. Clients are advised to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the initial matching steps to arrange a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Robert blends person‑centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy to offer practical and reflective support. Person‑centred therapy focuses on listening and acceptance to help someone feel heard and to explore what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider how past patterns might be affecting present relationships. That approach can help people notice recurring themes and make different choices. Together these ways of working give options for short‑term problem solving or longer exploration depending on the person's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then recommend which methods to try. The plan can be reviewed and changed as sessions progress so the work stays relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online arrangements are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing to suit remote sessions and everyday life.
