Rob

Gestalt Therapist, Couples Counsellor

Sometimes, you can look like you're managing perfectly well on the outside, while inside you feel angry, overwhelmed, disconnected or simply stuck. You might struggle to make sense of your emotions, feel as though you're never quite good enough, or find that the relationships that matter most to you have become difficult to navigate.

Rob is a compassionate and empathetic counsellor who is passionate about men's mental health and helping people build healthier, more meaningful relationships. He offers a space where you can be honest about what's going on for you, without fear of judgement or the pressure to have all the answers.

Rob works with adults experiencing difficulties such as anger, anxiety, depression, emotional shutdown, low self-worth and bereavement. He has a particular passion for supporting men who may have spent years pushing through, keeping things to themselves or feeling they should be able to cope alone. He understands that beneath anger, frustration or withdrawal, there may be feelings and experiences that are much harder to put into words.

As a Gestalt therapist, Rob helps you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your emotions and the patterns that shape how you relate to others. His approach focuses on what is happening for you in the present, helping you recognise what may be keeping you stuck and explore practical ways to move forward. He is calm, supportive and empathetic, but will also gently challenge you when he feels something important is being overlooked. His aim isn't simply to help you understand your difficulties, but to help you make meaningful, lasting changes.

Relationship & Couples Counselling

Rob is passionate about helping couples find their way back to connection, communication and understanding. When conversations repeatedly end in arguments, you feel unheard, or you find yourselves having the same disagreements without anything changing, it can be difficult to know where to turn.

Rob takes an active, practical approach to couples counselling. He recognises that both people have their own experiences and perspectives, and that understanding these is an important part of moving forward. Together, you can explore communication, rebuild empathy and compassion, strengthen your connection and work towards meaningful change. Whether you want to improve your relationship or need support navigating a difficult decision, Rob will help you look beyond the arguments to understand what is happening between you and what you can do differently.

"At the heart of Rob's work is the belief that understanding yourself is just as important as understanding other people. Whether you're coming to counselling individually or as a couple, he will work alongside you to help you develop greater self-awareness, confidence and a clearer sense of direction."
