About Wojciech

Wojciech Sean Dobiech works on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and addiction concerns using a person-centred approach. He describes himself as a person-centred counsellor and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, with six years' experience in counselling adults and young people and 13 years supporting people with mental health difficulties.

Sean puts emphasis on listening and helping people talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on the client's concerns and feelings, with the counsellor offering reflective listening and support rather than giving directives. This means time is taken to understand the person's perspective and priorities.

He has supported people with a wide range of issues including grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem. Other areas he notes include coping with life changes, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD and bipolar-related concerns.

Additional focus areas listed are attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer-related distress, codependency, family problems, domestic violence, substance addiction and first responder issues. These aims are addressed through a person-centred stance and conversational work that explores feelings and choices.

Sean also uses elements from cognitive-behavioural methods, dialectical behaviour approaches, mindfulness and motivational interviewing when these suit the person's goals. He encourages people to bring practical problems and to set small, manageable goals within sessions.

How his approaches inform remote counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says to help them clarify feelings and choices; it suits people who want a supportive space to talk and be understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviours. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, and can be useful for intense mood swings and relationship difficulties.

Choosing an approach is part of the work rather than a one-time decision. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree what to try based on the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can adapt over time as needs change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week by removing travel time and making shorter check-ins easier to arrange. They also allow work around shifts, appointments or caring duties so sessions can fit everyday life more readily.
