Robert Paczkowski , BACP, NCPS

Robert Paczkowski recognises that deciding to start counselling can feel challenging, and he aims to offer a calm, understanding place to explore those concerns and improve day-to-day wellbeing. He works from a person-centred perspective, believing that every person deserves to be heard and accepted without judgement, and he creates a non-directive atmosphere where a client’s own goals guide the work.

Robert is a fully qualified Person Centred Counsellor with seven years of practice working in short-term, medium-term and open-ended therapy, and he is prepared to discuss which approach feels best at the first meeting. He has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT issues, family and parenting concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem problems and related areas such as attachment, body image, isolation and life purpose.

He is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body that sets ethical standards for counselling in the UK, and he also holds NCPS credentials. Robert has an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and follows the ethical guidelines associated with his professional memberships. He offers a respectful, non-judgmental space where exploration and gradual change can take place.

Therapeutic approaches offered online

Robert uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive, non-directive environment where the person’s own perspective and values guide the work. This approach focuses on empathic listening and acceptance and can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and identity concerns.

He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress and depressive symptoms and offers practical strategies for coping and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Robert will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy with Robert is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic constraints. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals and ongoing support from different locations, while maintaining the continuity of care needed to work toward meaningful change.
