About Rob

Rob practises from the United Kingdom and works with adults on issues such as parenting, relationships, work worries and self-esteem.

Background and approach
Rob uses a head-and-heart approach that aims to make people feel heard and able to move forward. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships and on client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness tools are used when helpful for changing thoughts and easing stress.
Rob has worked with charities including Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS, and combines counselling with coaching skills to focus on practical next steps. He sometimes uses a monthly Wellbeing Score to track how someone is doing and to guide progress over time. Sessions are offered in English and are provided by a practitioner registered with BACP and NCPS.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Rob draws on attachment-based work to look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence emotional reactions today. This approach can help when problems centre on trust, closeness or recurring conflict. He also uses client-centred counselling which focuses on careful listening and following the person's priorities; this helps people feel heard and decide what matters most in therapy.These ways of working are used alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and simple mindfulness exercises when they suit the person's goals. Rob treats approach selection as a joint process. He will check what a person hopes to achieve, try different techniques and adapt things based on what feels most useful and comfortable.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make sessions fit into busy lives. Video works well for longer conversations and visual connection, phone helps when bandwidth is limited or a shorter call is needed, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or keeping progress going between sessions. This range gives flexibility for different days and different needs while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
