About me

I provide online therapy for adults.

Are you plagued with thoughts of not being good enough, feeling like a fraud or invisible, lacking confidence in your own abilities, struggling with imposter syndrome?  This kind of thinking can lead to anxiety, depression and debilitating feelings of unworthiness.  

Perhaps you like to feel dependable (or are expected to be that) but feel overwhelmed with the demands of work or family – always feeling as though you are pleasing other people to the detriment of yourself

Maybe you portray the image of being very together but inside you feel stressed and find it hard to stay on top of things.

Investing in counselling with me can help you:

·         Reduce and manage stress, anxiety and worry

·         Explore your feelings of not being good enough, identify and understand the origins of that thinking and learn to challenge it and turn around negative self talk.  

·         Communicate effectively, clearly and assertively

·         Come to terms with a childhood that may not have met your needs and understand the root cause of why you are as you are

·         Understand family dynamics

·         Tackle perfectionism and procrastination enabling you to get stuck in and actually do something that needs doing

·         Increase confidence and self esteem, changing your mindset about yourself, moving you forward in a better, calmer and more fulfilling way.

·         Manage fear of judgment

·         Handle yourself better in relationships and at work

I have many years’ experience of working with people, from all walks of life, struggling with these kind of issues.  I have also had to tackle some of these issues myself in my own personal life.

As all of my sessions take place  online, you can see me wherever you are in the UK so long as you have a confidential space at your end where you will not be disturbed during your session.

The next step is for you to book a session with me by emailing me at mrobertsoncounselling@gmail.com or texting/phoning 07501729248.  If you would prefer a brief chat with me before booking a full session, please let me know.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
