How Rob’s approaches work online
Rob uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and find new ways of relating that feel safer and more manageable.He also uses client-centred counselling, which means he listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead. This helps people feel heard and decide what change matters most to them.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, in a simple form, is another tool he uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. It suits worries, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties where practical steps can help.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rob will discuss options with the client and agree together what to try first, then adjust based on progress and preference. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video mimics face-to-face contact, phone can be less demanding on bandwidth, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging suits brief reflections between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
