About Robyn
Robyn Pitcher is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Robyn brings a calm, non‑judgemental manner to sessions and aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences.
She trained and practised in South Africa before working in other settings. That background includes supporting people who have experienced abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault. Robyn has three years of practice helping adults and adolescents with grief, trauma and self‑esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Robyn draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses client‑centred principles to keep the sessions grounded in the person’s own goals. She also applies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Solution‑Focused Therapy techniques when these are helpful for coping and change.
In a session Robyn listens without judgement and helps people map small steps forward. Practical strategies for managing overwhelm and emotional reactivity are a common focus. She works at a pace each person finds comfortable and adapts plans as progress is made.
Sessions often focus on improving communication, handling life changes and rebuilding confidence after loss or trauma. Robyn also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career uncertainty, chronic illness and difficulties linked to attention and impulse control. Her goal is to help people feel clearer and more able to cope day to day.
How Robyn’s approaches translate to online therapy
Robyn often uses client‑centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy online. Client‑centred counselling focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people set their own goals, which suits conversational formats like video or phone sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, and it adapts well to worksheets and short practical exercises done between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robyn will discuss the options and collaborate with the person to choose what fits best. She tailors techniques to the person’s goals and pace, and adjusts plans as progress is made so the work feels manageable and relevant.
Online formats can make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when body language matters. Phone sessions work well for people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit quick check‑ins, brief reflections and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
