About Robert
Robert Marshall is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and trauma. He supports those dealing with relationship and family strain, grief, anger, self-esteem and life changes. Robert draws on a straightforward, empathetic style that encourages honest conversation and practical steps forward.
He trained as a person-centred counsellor and uses that approach to prioritise listening and empathy. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing from volunteer work, using them where they fit a person's needs.
Background and approach
This blended way means sessions can be reflective or more action-focused depending on what helps. Robert keeps sessions down to earth. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and past experiences.
He says openness and emotional honesty are central to making progress. Having lived through significant depression and addiction himself, Robert brings personal insight into recovery and relapse prevention. He uses that experience to normalise setbacks and to build realistic coping strategies with people he sees.
In practice he explores emotions, patterns and practical changes together. He will listen first, then offer tools and small experiments to try between meetings. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer thinking and manageable next steps.
Robert works in the United Kingdom and speaks English. He has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How Robert works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose what fits their needs and preferences, and may use more reflective or more action-focused methods as required. That collaborative decision is reviewed over time as goals evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, often find online work effective for a wide range of concerns.
