My key services
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 make us feel alone with the issue. Counselling and psychotherapy can help make sense of what is going on, incorporate a better understanding of your feelings and intuition, and allow you to make new links perhaps with your family scripts or past experiences and to find the courage to move forward in life.
Individual therapy & counselling
Whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, therapy provides space to understand what’s really going on and find a way forward. My approach is dynamic, relational and compassionate, helping you reconnect to your own wisdom and build healthier relationships.
The positive goals of psychotherapy can help you make sense of what is going on, incorporate a better understanding of your feeling and intuition, to overcome negative family scripts or past experiences and to live life with greater joy and courage.
Group Therapy Facilitation
NEW for 2026 – Robert will be developing Therapeutic Connection Groups in Hertfordshire which will be a space for people to meet others in a meaningful and intelligent way. In our increasingly digital lives, people long to have more in-person events which aims to foster meaningful and intelligent connection between people within the local community. The aim is to create supportive group spaces open to deep self-exploration and creativity. Launching in early 2026, this is likely to look like fortnightly therapeutic dream group and day therapeutic events in Hertfordshire. Click below or contact me to find out more.
