Robert Paczkowski offers calm, non-judgemental support for people feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. He keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to change and listens closely to what matters most. Robert speaks English and Polish and works with concerns like addiction, grief, relationship strain and questions about identity and self-worth.

He practises person-centred counselling and integrates practical approaches when needed. That means conversations are guided by the client's priorities, and tools are introduced to help with day-to-day coping.

Background and approach

Short-term work and longer open-ended therapy are both options to suit different goals. With seven years of experience, Robert draws on a mix of client-centred, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic and solution-focused methods. He explains ideas plainly and uses them to help people look at patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and try small experiments between sessions.

Sessions aim to feel like a steady space to talk and to try new ways of dealing with problems. Robert is registered with BACP and also lists NCPS as a credential. He follows professional ethical guidelines and has an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.

These are part of the framework he uses to keep professional standards in his practice. People who are unsure how to begin can expect a clear first conversation about aims and practical arrangements. He encourages a collaborative approach so the work matches what the client wants to achieve.

How Robert's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. Online sessions using this approach give space for the client to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. It is well suited to feelings of low self-worth, confusion about life direction, and emotional pain.

Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and practical behaviours. In online work CBT often includes simple exercises and between-session tasks that can be practised at home, such as thought records or activity scheduling to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together, adjusting based on the client's needs and goals. This collaborative process helps decide whether shorter, solution-focused work or deeper psychodynamic exploration is a better fit.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel and help maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
