Background and approach

Robbie draws on 15 years of experience and a master's degree in Guidance and Counselling from the University of Southern Queensland. He combines career guidance with counselling to help people align work and personal values. His PACFA credential is included as part of his professional standing.

He pays attention to attachment concerns, communication difficulties and issues such as impulsivity and forgiveness. Robbie also has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum, including Asperger Syndrome, to better understand how they relate to others and their environment. Practical tools are mixed with a person-centred approach.

Sessions might include reflective conversation, goal-setting and exploring new ways of coping. Robbie encourages clients to set the pace and focus on changes that feel doable. People who choose Robbie often want clearer direction and greater self-understanding.

He aims to make therapy an approachable, useful part of life rather than an added burden.

How Robbie’s approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection, helping people make sense of their thoughts and feelings and decide what changes to try. This approach suits issues like anxiety, self-esteem and life direction where personal values and choices are central.

Robbie pairs client-centred work with practical career-focused discussion when needed. That combination helps people balance work decisions with emotional wellbeing, and it can be useful for workplace stress, career transitions and finding purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Robbie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - adjustments are made as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit counselling around work, family and other commitments, and make it easier to keep regular contact when life gets busy.
