About me
Hello, I’m Rob. I am a BACP registered Therapeutic Counsellor and have been supporting individuals since 2018.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a part-time counsellor in the NHS. Before this, I spent several years working in male suicide prevention for a leading national charity. Whilst I work with adults of all genders, these experiences have given me a specialist interest in supporting men's mental health, navigating neurodiversity, and healing from past trauma.
Ultimately, I am passionate about helping you break through the barriers that keep you from recognising your true self-worth and potential.
How I Can Help -
Starting therapy takes courage, and you don’t have to carry your burdens alone. I have extensive experience helping people navigate a wide range of challenges, including:
Anxiety and Depression: Managing the overwhelming daily symptoms of stress, low mood, and social anxiety.
Difficult Life Events: Coping with complex grief, loss, workplace stress, and sudden life changes.
Past Trauma: Working through painful past experiences that still impact your life today.
Relationship Issues: Understanding patterns in how you connect with others.
Crisis Support: Providing a safe anchor during times of deep emotional distress or suicidal thoughts.
My Approach: How We Will Work Together -
I am trained as an Integrative Counsellor. In plain terms, this means I don't use a "one-size-fits-all" method. Instead, I blend different therapeutic tools—including traditional approaches to talking therapy, mindfulness, and practical strategies—to match your unique personality, goals, and way of learning.
At its core, our therapy is a partnership. Here is what you can expect from me:
A Safe, Collaborative Space: You are the expert on your own life. We will work as a team, moving at a pace that feels completely comfortable for you.
A Therapy Tailored to You: I value your unique strengths and insights, and will help you find meaning and solutions that genuinely align with who you are.
Gently Challenging: Growth often requires looking at things differently. When you are ready, I will help you look at old habits, thoughts, and relationship patterns that might be holding you back.
Therapy is an active process. In my experience, clients get the most out of our time when they are open to trying out new perspectives both inside and outside of our sessions. As the saying goes, "there is no change without change." I always encourage open feedback, so you can tell me exactly what is, or isn't working for you.
I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your journey!
Warm regards,
Rob
**Please note: If you choose to contact me by phone, please leave a voicemail with your name and a brief summary of your enquiry. Because I am usually in sessions, I am rarely able to answer live calls and do not return calls to unknown numbers without a voice message. Thank you! 😊

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
