Robert Marshall, BACP

Robert Marshall is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and jealousy. He also supports those coping with depression, trauma and abuse, issues with sleep and eating, parenting strains, anger, and low self-esteem. He works in a direct and compassionate way and aims to make the first conversation straightforward and reassuring.

Robert practices using a person-centred foundation and draws on other well known methods where they fit. He uses listening and empathy to help people feel heard, then explores emotions and practical steps together. He keeps language plain and avoids jargon so conversations are easy to follow.

He speaks from lived experience of addiction and depression, and he says that seeking help made a big difference in his own life. That background informs how he connects with people who feel stuck or ashamed and helps him offer a non-judgemental stance.

Sessions focus on what matters now - feelings, behaviour and small changes that can make daily life easier. He balances emotional exploration with down-to-earth suggestions and collaborative goal-setting. Robert aims to create a space where people can be open and honest about difficult topics.

Robert holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has five years' experience and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English. To start, clients use the platform's matching process and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches for online counselling and what to expect

Robert works from a person-centred base that prioritises listening and empathy, helping people feel heard before deciding next steps. This approach suits emotional issues like grief, shame or relationship worries where being understood matters most.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try new ways of coping. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Robert will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then choose or combine methods in collaboration with the client. That shared planning helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend during a lunch break, manage child care arrangements, or keep to appointments when mobility or health issues make travel harder. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt tasks, worksheets and short exercises to suit remote sessions, helping people make steady progress while balancing everyday life.
