About Robert

Robert Marshall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with anger alongside issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and relationship concerns. He uses a compassionate, down-to-earth manner that aims to make difficult conversations feel more manageable. Robert draws on five years of practice and his own lived experience with addiction and depression to connect with people honestly.

He trained as a Qualified Person Centered Counsellor, which means he focuses on meeting people where they are and listening without judgement. He also has experience using cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing from volunteering with a local alcohol service. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, try practical changes and build motivation.

In sessions he pays close attention to emotions and how they show up in daily life. He encourages open, straightforward talk and practical steps that fit the client’s situation. The work aims to help people feel less stuck and regain some control over their reactions and choices.

Robert describes his style as empathetic and non-judgemental, with a practical edge. He invites honest conversation and focuses on small, achievable changes. That makes his approach suited to people who want clear, human support rather than technical language.

He works in English and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Clients interested in meeting him are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Approaches used in online work and how they help

Robert often draws on person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, empathy and creating space for people to speak openly. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and to work through strong emotions like anger or shame.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and patterns that feed anger or impulsive actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. The plan can change as the work develops and as practical priorities become clearer.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats work better for quieter conversations while others suit more interactive exercises; discuss preferences when arranging the first session to find what fits.
