Me and my experience

Hi, I'm Rob. I've lived in West Sussex for 5 years, London for many years before that and was born and raised in Surrey so I know this region very well and have loved the mix of busy city and peaceful countryside living. I came to counselling as a client first and then following a long personal journey discovered a passion for wanting to learn further about how therapy can help.

Before my counselling experience, I worked in broadcast journalism, PR and marketing within the charity, public and private sectors, and later ran my own dog wellbeing business. I have family and friends of all ages, and am aware of how the world and current affairs at this very moment can impact young and old in different ways. You'll get me in the room — not a version of someone I think you might need me to be. Professional, confidential, calm, with the necessary knowledge, education and experience to hold you safely and ethically.

The formal bits - I hold a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling (Distinction), and a Level 4 Certificate in Counselling from the University of Chichester, plus a Certificate in Working with Trauma. I'm an Individual BACP Member and work to their code of ethics, fully supervised and fully insured and hold an Enhanced DBS check. I am a registered member with Psychology Today and Welldoing.org. I also work for Petersfield Counselling Service.

I'm an Individual Member of the Employee Assistance Professionals Association UK (EAPA UK), which reflects my commitment to supporting people with work related stress and wellbeing, and to working within their code of ethics.

I'm also a qualified CPCAB breathwork coach and provide breathwork sessions privately to non-therapy clients and also in a group setting locally. Learn more here and you're welcome to enquire seperately about this via my contact page.

Everything starts with a free twenty-minute chat — for us to meet, and for you to decide whether I'm someone you could work with. That decision is entirely yours.
