Robert Paczkowski

Robert Paczkowski welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps. He writes in plain terms and offers steady listening so someone can talk through stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems and low self-esteem. Robert's approach is calm and non-judgemental. He aims to help people feel heard and clearer about what to do next.

He works from a person-centred perspective that puts the person's experience first. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at their pace. Robert also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on psychodynamic ideas to look at past influences that still affect feelings today.

Robert has seven years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He has worked with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger and issues around identity, including LGBT concerns. He also supports people dealing with addictions, eating and body-image concerns, and family of origin difficulties.

Sessions are offered in English and Polish and Robert accepts international clients. He has experience in short-term, medium-term and open-ended work, and will discuss what might suit during the first meeting. The initial step is a straightforward conversation to agree goals and how to approach them.

Robert aims to create a respectful space where a person can explore feelings about abandonment, attachment difficulties, life purpose and isolation. He encourages practical, concrete steps alongside reflective discussion so progress can be tracked over time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Robert draws most strongly on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening, acceptance and helping someone find their own direction; it suits people who want a steady space to reflect. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, stress and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made, with an emphasis on what feels useful in day-to-day life.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is preferable. They can also support continued work for people living abroad, since international clients are accepted, but the exact arrangements should be checked when scheduling.
