On the outside, you seem fine - calm, capable, holding it all together. But inside, it’s a different story. I work with adults who are silently battling with pressure, anger, or a sense that something is missing from their lives. Many people I work with describe a feeling of living behind a mask, smiling, coping, keeping up appearances, while privately battling anxiety, low mood, grief, or a sense of disconnection. If that resonates with you, you're not alone. I can help. I'm Rob Upton. I specialise in working with adults and young people who are seeking relief from these pressures.
Counselling can be a game-changer. Here’s how it helps: Breaks the worry loop - I can help you spot unhelpful thought patterns and learn how to reframe them. Builds coping tools - learn techniques that give you more control when anxiety hits. Boosts confidence - As you build skills and gain insight, you feel more equipped to face challenges.
With 16 years of leadership experience supporting large teams, I’ve seen how anxiety and depression impact everyday life. As a therapist, I’ve helped many clients regain control of their thinking and lead more fulfilling lives. I’d love to help you too. I’m a registered member of the BACP and an Accredited Registrant of the NCPS.

As an integrative therapist, I am able to draw on a range of modalities and approaches to best support you. I often use a Person-Centred approach, helping you find your solutions through empathy and unconditional positive regard. I may also work psychodynamically with you, exploring how your past is influencing your present. During treatment I'll help you find a way to adjust for a better future
