I am in the final stages of my training and will shortly be offering psychotherapy sessions both online and from my home in Armathwaite. I use the Human Givens approach to psychotherapy which combines the latest insights from neuroscience and psychological research with proven therapeutic techniques from a wide range of modalities to provide highly effective interventions tailored to individual clients.

Comments from recent clients

"Initially sought support because I was experiencing ongoing anxiety and a general sense of fear that was being intensified by shallow breathing and I felt caught in a cycle of increasing tension.  From the very first session, Rob helped me understand how to regulate my breathing effectively, alongside exploring lifestyle factors and incorporating guided meditation. Almost immediately, I felt more in control.  Learning how to practise calm, steady breathing had a noticeable impact on both my mental clarity and physical state. I continued with three further sessions to deepen the work. 

From day one I realised that I had found a highly skilled therapist who was able to tune into my situation with insight and sensitivity, providing practical knowledge that helped me better understand myself enabling me to move forward with confidence. Through his kindness and expertise I have been able to replace fear with strength and calm. I am truly grateful for the clarity and resilience I’ve gained through this process.  Thank you Rob."

"Before these sessions I had lived for years with anxiety, depression, ADHD related difficulties and more recently , trauma based ‘tics’. Through working with Rob primarily using the Human Givens approach and other methods he has developed something shifted - a ‘light bulb’ moment in which I discovered I had the power within myself to create behavioural change.  I learned practical ways to ground myself especially in moments of panic and stress. Techniques such as breath work, guided imagery and self compassion helped calm my nervous system and rewiring long standing reactions.   The methods used were also backed by neuroscience giving depth to my understanding.   The ‘Rewind Therapy’ I had for the trauma based ‘tics’ to my surprise has worked very effectively! Perhaps most importantly I have learnt that healing is a daily process which will become easier over time but I am already reaping the benefits of this process.  

Words cannot express my thanks Rob for your teaching, understanding and wisdom."

"When my son was 14 years old and experiencing social and emotional problems at his new school, Rob was invaluable in helping him better comprehend his feelings and overcome the tensions and difficulties he was facing."

"I gained far more benefit from sessions with Rob than I have with previous therapists.  I am so grateful for being heard and supported with such genuine care."

"After over two years of trying to sort out low mood, social anxiety and poor sleep I decided reluctantly that I needed input from a third party. I was unclear and nervous about what to expect. I was worried about not being able to vocalise my issues eloquently, I was also concerned about being taken seriously or my issues being trivialised.

I had no need for any of these concerns. Within moments of my first session with Rob I realised that not only was he knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind, he also provided a very safe space for me to talk. Rob is a very good listener and incredibly understanding and empathetic. Within two weeks my sleep had improved immensely and using techniques he taught me, the improvement in my mood and mindset followed too. I would say to anyone who is struggling to trust the process and to trust Rob. I highly recommend him."
