I offer Outdoor Therapy to those who would like to use nature, walking and the freedom these bring into your therapy. Although I specialise in low self-esteem/confidence building, understanding and managing anxiety and body image I have experience of working in many areas of Counselling. I believe swapping a Therapy room for an outdoor setting is therapy in itself; providing a freedom to fully immerse yourself into you and your problems, thus finding a solution or an understanding of what is happening through talking as we walk. Sessions can be talking and walking or using a personal development exercise.

Many of us faces issues and challenges, which over time pile up and can become too much to handle in our daily lives. Due to deeper, unresolved difficulties from our history, such as issues from our childhood or issues from our families, relationships or situations can feel difficult. You can improve your self-awareness and decision-making through therapy. It provides you more control over your life and also aids in the treatment of sadness, anxiety, and maybe loss-related grief and low self-esteem. The goal of therapy is to help you reach your maximum potential.

These include anxiety which may affect your everyday life, eating disorders, dysfunctional families, trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, depression, seemingly unresolvable relationship problems, abuse, grief and grieving, anger management,
self esteem
and confidence.
You may be wondering how Psychotherapy will help you. However, research has found this to be true. Seated in a safe place with an understanding and informed Psychotherapist can be your first step towards healing and resolution. My approach to Psychotherapy is flexible, caring and compassionate with an aim towards a more understanding relationship with yourself and others. Also, you will never be viewed as a "problem to be fixed", but as a unique person with your own difficulties and obstacles to overcome.

Life really can throw curve balls at us and knock us off kilter, making us feel lost, out of control, not good enough, lacking direction or scared of what's to come. Maybe this is due to a bereavement, relationship problems or separation, issues at work or other life events. Sometimes we may even feel like this for no apparent reason. However, it doesn't have to be like this. In our time together, I will help you work through exactly what it is that is bothering you so that you can make changes or accept what you can't change.

Welcome to my profile. I'm Rob. My clients find therapy gives them a place to let go and be themselves. Therapy can be laid back and approachable - in fact, so much more seems possible when it is. It can be so liberating to truly be yourself. That means not worrying how you appear, if you'll offend someone, or if you'll be judged. Those things take so much effort. Here you can go for it! Say what you like, see what happens, let it all out. I promise I won't judge you. You deserve to be heard and understood from your point of view. If you didn't have enough of that in your life, here's a chance to make up for it.

Self Esteem Counsellors
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
