About Robert Cuming

Everything I do is focused on enabling others to unlock personal growth, enhance connection and access the healing quality of creativity. I am a therapist and group facilitator offering tailored support to those seeking healing, clarity, and transformation. I provide a reassuring space and early on explore together with clients how we might work and create shared goals, with a real focus on what better might look like. Whether through EMDR, relationship work, or dynamic group settings, I create spaces for impactful change. 

My private therapy work is informed by various leadership roles, which enables me to have a level of clarity of the challenges facing professionals and entrepreneurs who are balancing busy lives. I am Clinical Lead at The School of Life, a global publishing and well being brand based in London. Over the past three years I have successfully led and delivered over 12 cutting edge 4-day therapeutic retreats in the UK and recently in Mallorca, enabling over 200 people to experience a space for personal transformation. I provide clinical guidance to the organisation and the team of online therapists.

Other leadership experience includes holding the role as CEO at The Counselling Foundation, a leading mental health social enterprise and training organisation in Hertfordshire / Bedfordshire, also a leading supplier of IAPT counselling services to the NHS across Hertfordshire. I have worked in leadership and clinical roles for national organisations; The Princes Trust, The Samaritans and Barclays Bank.

I passionately believe in the role of counselling, therapy and personal development enabling insight and personal growth so that people can develop the resilience, both personal and emotional, to overcome any personal difficulties and blocks. I work with individuals in Berkhamsted and London, or across the UK remotely, and to enable clients to access sometimes forgotten qualities so that they become more fully themselves and move forward to fulfill their purpose and ambitions.

My in person practice is on the High Street in Berkhamsted, HP4 1AA as well as in Bushey WD19 4TP. I also offer Zoom video conferencing. Many clients have found online therapy as effective as face to face work, and can provide people with necessary flexibility to access support they need.
