About Robert
Robert Marshall is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who face anxiety, stress, addiction and related difficulties, including relationship and family concerns and low mood.
He aims for direct, down-to-earth conversations. Sessions focus on listening carefully and helping people talk through strong feelings. Robert says he draws on personal experience of addiction and recovery when relevant to the work.
In practice he uses person-centred principles alongside other methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing. That means sessions often start by exploring what matters most to the person, then move to practical steps and goal-focused ideas where helpful.
Robert also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and to identify short-term changes that can make daily life easier. He describes himself as non-judgemental and open-minded, and aims to be straightforward in sessions.
Clients commonly bring issues such as grief, trauma, problems with sleep or eating, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, attachment and intimacy concerns, and questions about life purpose.
People interested in starting are invited to use the service's matching process and schedule an initial appointment to see how the approach fits their needs.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping people talk through emotions and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of helping someone find their own reasons to change, often used for addictions and habit change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try different ways of working so the client and therapist can agree the best fit. That collaborative decision is reviewed as the sessions continue.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also permits using CBT tools, motivational techniques and person-centred discussion in ways that suit the individual's routine and access requirements.
