Robert Paczkowski

Robert Paczkowski offers a calm, respectful space for people dealing with anger and related difficulties. He writes plainly and listens closely so people can say what they really mean. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to start, he helps you work out practical next steps.

Robert is a counsellor with seven years' experience. He trained as a Person Centred counsellor, which means he focuses on understanding each person from their point of view. He also uses approaches from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work when these suit a person's goals.

In sessions he aims to be non-directive and non-judgemental. That means he will follow the client's pace and priorities while offering gentle reflections and practical ideas. He has worked in short-term, medium-term and open-ended therapy, and will discuss what length of work feels best at the first meeting.

Robert lists a range of concerns he supports, including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship worries, grief and self-esteem. He also notes work with issues such as attachment, communication problems, eating and substance concerns, and immigration-related pressures.

Robert holds BACP and NCPS credentials and follows the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical guidance. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and he accepts international clients. Booking begins by completing the site questionnaire and arranging sessions via the Start Therapy button.

How his approaches translate to online work

Robert combines Person Centred counselling with cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ideas, and these approaches adapt well to online conversations. Person Centred counselling involves listening closely, reflecting back what someone says and following their lead to build trust and insight. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours interact and support practical experiments to change patterns. Solution-Focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what people want to be different in their day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful for the client's goals and try different ways of working if needed. That means the plan can change as progress is made and as priorities become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make scheduling across time zones easier for international clients. Confirm the available session options and times when you arrange your first appointment.
