Counsellor & Hypnotherapist
I am a qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist.
I offer a number of effective ‘person centered’ and integrative therapies using a range of different counselling methods.
Following 37 years in a different career I made a decision to retrain as a counsellor as I had cause to experience first hand the difference effective counselling can make to a person. I wanted to be part of a valuable and fulfilling profession.
Seeking help through counselling can be a difficult (but courageous) step to take but the rewards can far outweigh the initial fears or concerns. I offer a safe and confidential setting in which you can become aware of self limiting thought and behaviour patterns. You may not be aware of the things that have been holding you back and preventing you from reaching your full potential in life. Successful counselling (as I found) can make a transformational difference to your life.
Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions for more information including details on costs. If you have any questions or would like to explore how we could work together then please give me a call 07970 905954. I look forward to working with you.

Counselling Options
At this moment in time I am unable to offer any face to face counselling. However, I can offer alternative options which are Telephone counselling or on-line Video call counselling.
Online Counselling is just like having face-to-face counselling, except you talk to me online using a secure video link (similar to Skype or FaceTime).
I am aware that the current situation will be causing anxiety and distress and being able to talk through your worries and fears with a trained counsellor could really help.
I use Zoom to provide the Video Counselling. I use Zoom because:
– it’s available to users with lower bandwidths
-it meets a very high standard of confidentiality and data security
-it’s free and easy to use
Please do give me a call if you would like to find out more or to book a session.
Once you’ve booked a session I’ll email you the details of your on-line meeting with a link to access your session.
(If you have never used Zoom before then it would be useful to download the App from the App Store ahead of the appointment time.)
At the time of your appointment, just click the link in the email and you’ll be connected to a video call with me.
Zoom will not collect your personal information and sessions are not recorded. Video calls take place using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to ensure they remain confidential.

I came to Rob after a sustained period of unhappiness in my life. I was new to counselling but from the outset we worked towards clear goals, established together. He helped me to understand a state of mind I had been struggling to comprehend on my own. Throughout the process he was attentive, sincere and impartial. [Read More]

Many thanks Rob. I had never sought professional help before, so that first contact was a real leap of faith. The fact that I could speak openly with you about heartfelt issues is testament to the trust I have in you, and I am so glad that I plucked up the courage to take that first vital step. [Read More]

Rob has been a great help to me, with clear goals, non-judgemental, supportive, client-centred counselling. He offers the chance to unwind and offload, discover for yourself a way forward and deal with the problems that currently overwhelm you.

I am a male in my early thirties and have been working with Rob for the last year. It has made such a difference to my outlook and how I feel on a daily basis. When I first met Rob I was suffering emotionally and spiritually. I was possibly at one of the lowest points in my life. Over the course of about 7 months Rob helped me understand myself, address the key issues and regain control. I now feel an internal peace I hadn’t felt for many years. [Read More]

I have now learnt through counselling and hypnotherapy many new coping strategies and mechanisms when dealing with stressful or hurtful situations. I now feel much more in control of my emotions whereas prior to he sessions I had no control of these. My relationship with my husband has gone from strength to strength and prior to the sessions there were points I thought we would not pull through. [Read More]
