Psychotherapy and EMDR with Robert Cuming

Empowering you through healing, growth, and self-discovery

I’m a psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience and a background in leadership and therapeutic retreat facilitation. In my private practice in Berkhamsted and London, I support individuals and couples, to heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and live with greater purpose and self-understanding. I bring a unique blend of insight, compassion and a relationship focused approach from my experience in both clinical practice, as well as holding leadership roles, having run teams and recently an organisation as Chief Executive Officer. Through my therapy work and experience I am inspired to empower people to develop insight, really understand the potential they have to overcome distress, and become the most authentic version of themselves. 

My practice aims to enable individual clients to identify limiting beliefs and personal blocks on as they seek to overcome an existing crisis or traumatic events. I support both individuals and couples to gently confront core issues of communication and disconnection, through both dialogue and practical exercises, and help them nurture relationships with greater flow and meaning. I work with established and evidence-based working practices such as; EMDR (Eye Movement Desentisization Reprocessing), and in my Couple work, with the Gottman Couples Method and Relational Life Therapy model. I encourage clients to express themselves through creativity; for example through creative imagination meditation and dream work. I am deeply committed to the well-being of the communities in which I serve work, understanding, that the work we do in the practice room will ripple through and uplift client families and friends. During 2026 I will looking to bring people together through community and connection in Hertfordshire launching therapeutic creative groups.

EMDR for trauma and anxiety

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a transformative therapeutic approach which helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and restore balance. It’s a deeply effective, evidence-based method that supports long-lasting emotional resilience and recovery. EMDR is proven through clinical studies and approved for use within the NHS.

Counselling for couples

Thinking through our problems, often on our own or via google self-help searches, can often lead us around in circles or we feel alone in the world with the issue. Counselling and psychotherapy can help make sense of what is going on, incorporate a better understanding of your feeling and intuition and allow you to make new links perhaps with your family scripts or past experiences to find the courage to move forward in life.

Group therapy facilitation

NEW for 2026 – I’m developing Therapeutic Connection Groups in Hertfordshire which will be a space for people to meet others in a meaningful and intelligent way. In our increasing digital lives, people long to have more in person events where they can connect in a meaningful and intelligent way to people in their local community.

Caroline, Media company UK, London 

I’ve been working with Robert for over a year and can honestly say he has significantly improved my mental health and quality of life. A former sceptic of therapy, I’ve come to realise that it’s one of the best investments I have ever made in my own personal development, relationships and well-being. Robert is incredibly effective at identifying and resolving the issues which underlie my personal challenges and counter productive behaviour. I have every reason to give Robert my highest recommendation.

Marcus, Business Owner and Entrepreneur

It took me years to finally make the decision to meet a therapist. I had always associated therapy and counselling with illness, depression or abnormality. It turned out this could not be less true. Therapy with Robert enabled me to make sense of myself. I slowly began to take control of my own life and feel like a normal person; I wasn’t alone anymore.

Amie, Student

I just wanted to share with you how much I appreciate the hard work you did with me to build resilience and get me more connected to my emotions and passions. Despite all the troubles of 2020 I had a very successful year, and a lot of that is down to the work you and I did together. I have finally found something I want to pursue for myself and it is now live!
