About Robert
Robert Marshall is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and common struggles such as stress, anxiety, addiction and low mood. He brings five years of professional experience and a person-centred way of working. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
He trained as a person-centred counsellor and uses that approach to build trust and understanding. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing from his volunteering work, especially when addressing addictive behaviours. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded rather than full of jargon.
Robert describes his style as down to earth and non-judgemental. He focuses on listening with empathy and helping people name emotions they may be avoiding. He encourages openness so clients can speak without feeling criticised.
In sessions he will explore emotional patterns and how they affect daily life. He also helps people try out different ways of coping and thinking, so they can find what actually works for them. He combines reflective listening with practical strategies when needed.
Robert has personal experience of recovery from addiction and depression, which informs his approach in a lived-experience way. He holds BACP, which means he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He offers help in English and accepts international clients, and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches in online work and how they help
Robert commonly blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood, which can be useful for emotional issues and recovery from addiction. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at habits of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a client's goals and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then trying practical exercises, or alternating between reflective conversations and action-focused tasks depending on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work when circumstances change, while still keeping the focus on what the client wants to achieve.
