In Person Counselling in Stoke Gifford
I offer face to face sessions, online or walk and talk therapy weekdays from 9am-3pm.
You are holding it all together, but are you living fully? On paper, everything looks fine, but inside, you feel exhausted and disconnected by the effort of holding up the mask of 'being fine'. You wake up tense, shutting down to your partner or reacting to small things. This isn't a failure; it's an old survival strategy. As a child, you learned to suppress your needs to be safe. Now, your nervous system is stuck on high alert, keeping you small and exhausted. If you are tired of merely functioning and feel that niggling sense that you are missing out on your own life, I am here to help you come back to yourself.

I offer in-person and online counselling sessions.
I work with adults in Bristol who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulties in relationships. Using psychodynamic therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space to talk openly and reflect on how past experiences continue to shape life today. Together we can explore these patterns, deepen self-understanding, and find new ways of living with greater confidence, resilience, and ease. I see clients at The Practice Rooms in Westbury-on-Trym and also online.

I've widened the scope of options to include the possibility of working at distance by phone or video, as well as in person.
So often in our lives we reach a place where we are struggling in some capacity or another. It may be a deep-rooted issue that goes back to childhood, a past relationship or a trauma. It may be some destructive behaviour such as a form of self-harm or an eating disorder. It may be a negative thought process that is having an impact on our daily life. Whatever the issue, I believe counselling can help. Having a place where we can allow ourselves time and a calm space to think, talk and work things out can be absolutely priceless.

Hi, I'm Rob, a qualified integrative counsellor, which means rather than adopting a "one-size-fits-all" approach, I draw from a range of therapeutic models—including person-centred therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and psychodynamic therapy—to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. This flexibility allows us to explore your concerns in a way that resonates with you, helping you gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and move forward with greater confidence.

We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, therefore leading to feelings of confusion and a sense of powerlessness. Recently, many individuals from Hong Kong who have relocated to the UK have faced setbacks in their social, professional, or academic pursuits. Such challenges often stem from uncertainties surrounding self-image and self-worth while adapting to a new environment. If you find yourself in a similar situation, exploring yourself through psychological counseling can provide you with more effective means to understand and address these emotions

I offer integrative therapy for adults in person and online, with over seven years of clinical experience.
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Perhaps anxiety or low mood is affecting your daily life, or you’re struggling with relationships, confidence, sleep, or motivation. You might feel caught in unhelpful habits or thought patterns, or sense that something needs to change but aren’t sure where to begin. Often people seek therapy because they want relief from emotional distress, from feeling out of control, or from repeating the same patterns. Beneath that, there is usually a deeper wish to understand themselves better, to feel more at ease, and to live with greater clarity and choice.

Have you been through something painful or overwhelming that has left a lasting mark? It may have been a single moment — an accident, an assault, something that happened suddenly and changed everything. Or it may have unfolded over time: a childhood that didn't feel safe, or a workplace that was undermining, humiliating, or unpredictable. These experiences may have contributed to you feeling anxious, low in mood, mistrustful or self-critical — and may have affected your relationships, confidence, or your sense of who you are.

I offer sessions primarily online, or in person across Bristol and south Wales by arrangement.
No matter how you started or where you're headed, it's tough being a man.
If just reading that feels like asking for a fight nobody wants… you’re in the right place.
So let's talk about it.
We’re finally creating space to challenge or discard outdated scripts – and in the process, leaving behind some messy gaps, with very different opinions on how to fill them.
What “being a man” even means now has never had a more varied or deeply personal range of answers, or such a need for safe, inclusive places to explore what that question means to you.

If you change nothing, nothing changes but it can be hard to know where to begin. I feel it starts with you being heard and valued. Having your story and your feelings witnessed and validated is extraordinarily powerful and provides the catalyst for change. You will gain a clarity and a sense of perspective as well as an understanding of why you behave in the way you do. Talking to me will feel different from talking to a friend or family member. I will offer you insights and reflections, not opinions or solutions. I am interested in you and your experiences and they matter to me, but as I'm not involved I can remain objective.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
