About Robert

Robert Marshall is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. He works in a straightforward, compassionate way and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Robert uses listening, empathy and practical discussion to help people feel understood and move forward.

He trained in person-centred counselling and holds BACP accreditation, which means he follows professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

He also brings experience in cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing gained through volunteer work. That mix lets him adapt sessions to a person's needs without sticking to one rigid method. Robert says he accepts that everyone is different and meets people without judgement.

He focuses on emotions and their impact on daily life, helping clients name and work through painful thoughts and reactions. Sessions aim to be down to earth and easy to follow so people can be honest and practical changes can feel achievable.

He draws on his own experience of recovering from addiction and depression when appropriate, offering a perspective shaped by personal recovery as well as professional practice. This background informs his empathy and his belief that change is possible.

Robert supports people with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, career questions, chronic illness, bereavement, self-esteem issues and coping with life changes. He offers online and remote options to suit different schedules and situations.

Ways of working Robert names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapy approaches work online

Robert combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people untangle thoughts and feelings. Person-centred therapy means the therapist listens closely, reflects back what is heard and offers warmth so people can explore emotions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that suit the individual's needs. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, keeping the work collaborative and flexible.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which suit different situations. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to talk without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reach people who cannot travel to appointments.
