About Robert
Robert Paczkowski welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He introduces a calm, listening presence and aims to make it easier to talk about stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship pain, grief and questions about identity. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and are suited to people who prefer a respectful, steady approach.
He draws on seven years of practice and uses straightforward conversation to help clients name problems and try new ways of coping.
How Robert works
He works from a person-centred base which means the conversation follows the client’s pace and priorities. He can also include cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thought patterns, and psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences shape current feelings. Robert offers short-term, medium-term or open-ended work depending on what a client needs.
He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. International clients can be seen in the formats listed. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and holds NCPS.
He mentions adherence to the BACP ethical guidelines and has an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. People often begin by deciding whether they want brief practical change or a longer conversation about life patterns. Robert will discuss the best approach at the first meeting and agree how to proceed together.

Online support options
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following what the client brings to the session. In online work this feels like making space for someone to be heard, reflecting their experience and helping them find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles; it works well for anxiety, stress and some mood difficulties and can include worksheets or brief experiments during remote sessions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, concerns and preferences and suggest whether a person-centred pace, CBT techniques or some psychodynamic reflection might suit best. Plans can change as work progresses and the client’s needs become clearer.
Online formats offer flexibility for different practical needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging helps people keep a therapeutic thread between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work breaks, travel schedules or varying daily routines while keeping the focus on progress.
