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. 

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.

I work and have in person practices both on the High Street in Berkhamsted, HP4 1AA as well as at 17 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0PH. 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.

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. This allows me to ingrate the best of therapy, EMDR and coaching models into my practice.

I consult as the lead on clinical matters to The School of Life, a global publishing and wellbeing brand based in London. Over the past two years I have successfully led and delivered a range of 4 day therapeutic retreats in the UK and most recently in Mallorca during November 2024. My extensive 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 brands such as The Princes Trust, The Samaritans and Barclays Bank.

My training and experience uniquely places me to fuse a therapy and coaching offering. I provide emotional intelligence coaching to executive management in fast growing venture capital backed businesses, to enable them to become more effective in their people skills.

My experience and success with clients in both organisations and in private practice gives me the confidence that I can support others to discover greater personal freedom through enquiry and insight.
