About Rob
Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for showing an interest in the possibility of engaging in therapy with me.
The Value of Therapy
Whether you are new to therapy or returning, it offers a powerful way to address concerns and build self-awareness. Therapy can help you understand the influences that shape you, support informed decisions, and enhance your quality of life—even if you aren't experiencing current emotional difficulties.
My Therapeutic Approach
I provide a safe, supportive space for you to discuss any life experiences. I listen attentively to help you feel comfortable sharing your feelings at your own pace. I place emphasis on building and maintaining relational depth.
Benefits of Our Sessions
Our sessions guide you in processing trauma, building coping skills, and improving relationships. I support you with respect, empathy, and without judgment.
Collaborative Process
Therapy is a collaborative process focused on fostering openness and trust. I combine empathetic support with constructive challenge to help you grow while respecting your independence.
Relational Focus
My approach is grounded in relational practice, emphasising that the strength of our therapeutic rapport is essential to effectively address your concerns. I maintain professionalism while fostering a genuine, person-centred connection in all client interactions.
Experience and Qualifications
I have worked as a counsellor and coach since 2003, holding an honours degree in psychology and a post-graduate qualification in integrative counselling. My approach combines person-centred, psychodynamic, gestalt, and cognitive therapy, tailored to each client. I also have extensive experience in one-to-one coaching, Motivational Interviewing, and psychometric profiling, and I provide clinical supervision for other professionals.
Areas of Expertise
I've worked across a broad range of personal and interpersonal topics, with expertise in sexual orientation (LGBTQIA+), HIV, chronic health conditions, ADHD, Autism, self-esteem, assertiveness, boundaries, inner critic, self-compassion, and career concerns.
When suitable, I use personality profiling alongside counselling or coaching to enhance understanding of personality traits and their impact on life's challenges. My ‘personality guided therapy’ approach integrates individual personality into achieving therapeutic goals.
I am fully licensed in multiple psychometric tools, including MiRo Behavioural Modes™ and Strengthscope©, and accredited to deliver programs on Leading & Developing High Performance and The Self-Directing Professional.
As a founding member of the British Psychological Society's Psychology of Coaching group, I follow the ethical standards of both the BPS and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sessions and Fees
The first session is an opportunity to share your reasons for seeking counselling and clarify expectations. We'll cover practical matters like fees, frequency, cancellation policy, and confidentiality, which make up our contract.
This meeting also helps you decide if counselling is right for you. If you wish to continue, I usually recommend starting with 6 sessions before considering any extension. If continuing, this can be open ended or a contracted number of sessions.
The fee for sessions are £80 per session in person or £70 per session on Zoom.
Sessions take place weekly and last for 50 minutes.
Getting Started
Commencing therapy can feel both exciting and daunting. For more information, you’re welcome to call for a short, free chat or email me; I aim to reply within 24 hours.

Therapies offered
Integrative Therapy
Integrative counselling draws on techniques from different types of therapy to tailor an approach specifically for the individual client. This holistic and flexible framework views the person as a whole, integrating various theories and practices to address complex issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship problems. It fosters awareness of underlying issues, encourages acceptance of one's experiences, and supports change through healthier and more adaptive life choices.
Person Centred
This approach centres on you, recognising that you are the expert on your own life and experiences. The aim is to help you reach your full potential by providing acceptance and valuing you as an individual. The therapist will be honest and transparent with you, offering consistent support and acceptance, no matter what you share. By creating a safe and non-judgemental environment, this approach encourages you to take an active role in your own growth and healing, empowering self-confidence and personal development.
Psychodynamic
This approach helps you bring your subconscious—what lies just below the surface of your awareness—into your conscious mind. It increases your awareness of difficult memories and experiences, allowing you to understand how these deep-rooted feelings affect you in the present and how you can learn to cope with them. This process gives insight into hidden motivations and explores defence mechanisms. It also understands relationship patterns and processes deep-seated emotions. As a result, it can improve self-awareness, relationships, and overall well-being, and is often used to treat anxiety, depression, and personality issues.
Cognitive
A cognitive approach is a type of talk therapy that helps you identify, challenge, and change unhelpful or inaccurate patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving to improve your mental health and cope with life's challenges. It focuses on the present, teaching practical skills to understand how your thoughts, emotions, and actions interconnect, allowing you to respond to difficult situations more effectively and build resilience for the future.
Gestalt
A humanistic psychotherapy focusing on the "here and now," helping individuals gain self-awareness of their present thoughts, feelings, and actions to resolve unresolved past issues and live more fully. It views people as whole (mind, body, spirit) and uses techniques to explore feelings and become aware of blocks, aiming to foster personal responsibility, wholeness, and self-direction.
Inner Child
This helps adults heal emotional wounds from childhood by reconnecting with and nurturing their younger selves, addressing unresolved pain, neglect, or trauma that affects adult behaviours, self-esteem, and relationships to offer the compassion and care they missed. It's a process of understanding how past experiences shaped core beliefs, allowing for emotional maturity, self-compassion, and breaking negative patterns.
Internal Family Systems
IFS therapy views the mind as made of multiple "parts" (sub-personalities) with unique feelings and roles, led by a compassionate core "Self," helping individuals access this inner wisdom to understand and heal their distressed parts, rather than pathologizing them. It's a non-judgmental approach that fosters inner connection, resolving trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues by guiding protective parts to new roles, allowing wounded "exiles" to release old pain, all from the calm centre of the Self.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT is a mindfulness-based psychotherapy that helps people build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, while committing to actions that align with their personal values, leading to a richer, more meaningful life. It teaches skills like mindfulness, acceptance, and value clarification to help individuals live fully despite unavoidable pain or distress.
Solution Focused Therapy
SFT is a brief, future-oriented, and collaborative talking therapy that focuses on building solutions and desired outcomes rather than dwelling on problems, by identifying client strengths, resources, and past successes to create positive change. It helps people envision a better future and uses their existing skills to achieve goals, making it a hopeful, goal-directed approach that's often short-term and effective for various issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.
Therapeutic Coaching
Therapeutic coaching is a hybrid approach that blends the goal-oriented, action-focused nature of life coaching with the deeper emotional insight and healing techniques of psychotherapy, helping individuals overcome obstacles like stress, low self-esteem, or burnout to achieve lasting personal and professional growth by addressing underlying patterns and beliefs. It provides a safe space to explore patterns holding you back, gain clarity, and develop practical tools for change for a holistic, solution-focused outcome.
