About me

It's good to talk, but it’s better to be listened to.

Hi, I'm Robert, I am an integrative psychotherapist helping support people in making sense of where they are at in their lives.

You may feel stranded, or be struggling to sustain healthy and positive relationships. You may be questioning your career choices, your sexuality or the direction your life is taking. You may feel isolated and be unsure of the way ahead. 

Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to build a nurturing relationship within which you can approach your life and relationships with new options and possibilities. I actively collaborate in the therapy to help you explore your feelings and thoughts and look beyond imagined boundaries. I hope to foster self-confidence and help resolve feelings of unease, discomfort and distress.

Please contact me to book a free initial session or for more information.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a UKCP accredited and BACP registered psychotherapist, having trained in Integrative Psychotherapy at The Minster Centre in London. Before working in private practice, I worked with clients at Mind in Haringey and the counselling service at the Royal Academy of Music.

Before becoming a therapist I worked in the music industry, often in one-to-one settings and collaborating with other performers. My work has often depended on the relationships I build with others, a quality I bring into my therapy practice where I have a particular understanding of musicians and others in creative fields.

I have a particular interest in gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, feminist practice and welcome people from all walks of life. 

Member organisations

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.

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.
