About Robert

Robert Marshall is a counsellor who focuses on stress and anxiety alongside a wide range of life difficulties. He works to create a calm space where people can speak openly about addiction, depression, grief and relationship worries. He aims to listen first and respond with empathy and practical support.

He uses a person-centred style that keeps the client at the heart of sessions. That means conversations are led by what matters to the person in the room rather than by rigid steps.

Background and approach

He also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches and motivational interviewing from his volunteer work, folding in practical ideas when they feel helpful. In sessions he pays attention to emotions and patterns that keep people stuck. He will gently explore how past experiences connect to present behaviour and mood.

That can include looking at attachment, control issues, shame, or problems with sleep and eating. He speaks plainly and keeps plans straightforward. People can expect a down-to-earth tone, direct listening and help with small steps they can try between meetings.

Robert is open about having navigated addiction and depression himself, and he uses that lived experience to inform his approach. He holds a BACP credential, which is noted as a professional registration. He works from the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English for both local and international clients.

Sessions can be arranged by completing the platform matching process and booking a suitable time.

Approaches and online options for practical change

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and understanding. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and to feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers straightforward tools for managing anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, your preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will try methods that suit you and adjust them as needed so the plan feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or times when a shorter contact works better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a consistent course of support.
