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.
Having previously lived in Bristol for over 30 years I recently moved to Dursley in Gloucestershire with my wife Gill.
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.
I can currently offer client sessions at the following therapy rooms:-
1) The Old Rectory Clinic, High Street, Iron Acton, South Gloucestershire, BS37 9UQ
2) Calcot Manor, Near Tetbury, Gloucestershire GL8 8YJ
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.

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]

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 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]
