About Robert

Robert Paczkowski is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years’ experience. He works with adults struggling with stress, anger, addiction, relationships, trauma and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and he accepts international clients.

He practices person-centred counselling, which means he aims to listen without judgment and let the client lead the pace. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. Psychodynamic thinking is used to look at past patterns that keep repeating in present life.

Robert offers short-term, medium-term and open-ended work, and will discuss which approach feels right at the first meeting. In sessions he keeps a non-directive atmosphere while also offering practical steps when useful. This can mean talking through triggers, noticing thought patterns, or planning small experiments to test different responses to anger and stress.

He lists a wide range of concerns including addiction, anger management, anxiety, trauma and LGBT issues, plus related areas such as attachment, communication problems, grief and isolation. People often come when resentment builds, temper flares with close ones, or stress at work becomes overwhelming.

Robert follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical guidelines and holds an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. The first meeting is used to agree the likely length of work and a practical plan for sessions.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred work focuses on being heard. Online sessions allow the therapist to listen and follow the client’s priorities, helping the client to name feelings, including anger, and decide which areas to tackle.

CBT gives practical tools to test thoughts and try new behaviours. In online sessions this can mean setting small tasks between appointments, tracking responses, and reviewing what worked in the next meeting. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeated patterns from the past and how they show up now; online discussion can help map those patterns and their triggers.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and adapt methods as the work progresses. That means trying methods for a few sessions and changing course if something does not fit.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing practicalities at the first meeting helps shape sessions that fit daily life.
