About Robert
Robert Paczkowski offers counselling aimed at men who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. He speaks plainly and listens closely to help people name what is happening and decide on practical next steps. Sessions often focus on reducing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, relationship strain and self-esteem difficulties.
Robert works in a Person Centred way, which means he creates a non-judgemental space and follows the pace set by each person. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques are available where they match a client's goals.
He has seven years of counselling experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Robert has worked with a wide range of concerns including alcohol and drug addiction, anger, trauma, family and parenting issues, body image, and LGBT matters.
Robert is comfortable working in English and Polish. He says that some people prefer short-term work, others need longer support, and he is open to discussing short, medium or open-ended arrangements at the first meeting. Sessions are offered in the United Kingdom context and he follows the BACP ethical guidelines.
If someone wants to begin, Robert asks them to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to his availability.
How different approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions; the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the pace the client sets, which can help when talking through feelings of emptiness, low self-esteem or grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and trying practical exercises to change them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and some addiction-related issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will choose or combine approaches that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription. For practicalities, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions during a lunch break or after work. Phone or video sessions may suit different needs - phone sessions can be a shorter check-in and use less bandwidth, while video allows more visual contact. Ask about available options when arranging the first appointment.Areas of expertise
