About Robert
Robert Paczkowski is a counsellor who aims to make it easier for people who are worried about parenting, stress, anxiety or addiction. He speaks English and Polish and draws on seven years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. His approach is warm and respectful and he creates space for people to be heard without judgement.
People meet him for help with depression, relationship strain, grief, anger and issues around self-esteem.
Background and approach
He also supports those facing trauma, family problems, immigration concerns and difficulties related to body image or eating. He lists parenting as one of his focus areas and can discuss practical steps and emotional support relevant to that role. Robert trained as a person-centred counsellor and also uses cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused methods.
He adapts the style of work to the needs of the person in front of him, whether that means short-term focused sessions or longer open-ended therapy. He is registered with BACP and holds NCPS credentials, and follows the ethical guidance associated with those organisations.
Sessions may be arranged by choosing a subscription plan that fits the person and scheduling a time that suits both. Robert has experience working with addiction, domestic violence issues, loneliness and discrimination. He has completed the checks commonly required for practice and remains committed to treating people with dignity and respect.

How Robert’s approaches translate to online work
Robert blends person-centred care with cognitive behavioural and solution-focused methods to make online work practical and approachable. Person-centred counselling focuses on being heard and accepted without judgement, which helps people feel understood and able to talk about difficult parenting or life issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage cravings or change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused work concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and identifying small steps that move a person towards those goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Robert will discuss your goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest a way of working that suits you. That plan can change as you progress and the therapist will check in about how methods are helping you reach your aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life or work commitments.
