About me

It's not easy choosing a counsellor. If you're experiencing stress, depression or anxiety, you'll want someone you can trust.  

I have a high level of training and over 10 years experiencing as a counsellor / psychotherapist in NHS and private practice.  I'm registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council - "the UK’s leading professional association for psychoanalytic psychotherapy". 

I understand it can be difficult talking to a stranger about your personal life.  It's important to know that person will treat your concern with empathy and respect.  If you choose to work with me, I'll try my best to help you feel at ease.  

I offer a friendly and engaging service, perfect for beginners and those with more experience of therapy.  I'm not here to judge, so you can be certain I'll always be on your side.  I understand that the choices we make are all the outcome of the environments in which we live.  

If you would like a conversation about how I could be of service to you, please click the “Email me” button above.  I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours, Monday - Friday.

Testimonials:

"Many thanks for all the work you have done with me over the past year and a bit. It’s been so helpful."

"I wanted to write to say thank you.  Today I’m getting married.  I have come to find happiness with myself, and now, with someone else.  So thank you."  

"From our very first interaction, I felt heard and understood. Rob created a safe, nonjudgmental space where I could be open about my thoughts and feelings. This has impacted how I view myself and others, making me feel better equipped to handle life's challenges." 

"Therapy was literally life-changing and what I learned remains with me today. I don’t think I could ever really articulate the level of gratitude."
