Therapeutic Approach
My style of interaction with clients is warm and collaborative, following a client-centred approach. I seek first to understand, and then together with the client, tailor individual solutions utilising best practice treatment strategies.
Tools
Rob has a background in client centered Psychology, and uses approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Dignity Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Rob views liaison with other health professionals as extremely important, as this provides a cohesive approach which is in the best interests of the client.
Client Experience
I believe that the most effective therapy takes place in an environment which combines both a supportive and understanding relationship between the therapist and client, as well as a clear understanding of the outcomes the client wishes to achieve. As well as dealing with the specific issues they bring into therapy, my clients also increase their belief that they can make choices which affect the course of their lives in a positive way. Clients are gently challenged to make those choices.
