About Robert
Robert Marshall is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, parenting challenges and relationship concerns. He uses listening and empathy to help clients feel understood. He aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth.
He works with people who are coping with loss, trauma, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, anger or low self esteem. He trained as a person-centred counsellor and holds BACP, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
He also draws on experience with cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing gained during volunteering work. That background allows him to combine practical strategies with a compassionate listening approach. In sessions he focuses on emotions and on helping people name and move through difficult feelings.
He encourages open, honest conversation without judgement. He also shares from his own experience of addiction and depression to normalise the struggle and to show that change is possible. His style is collaborative and pragmatic.
He helps people set small goals and try manageable steps between meetings. That can include coping skills, behaviour experiments or short-term problem-solving tailored to a person’s situation. People often come for help with parenting worries, caring responsibilities, career stress or major life changes.
He also supports those dealing with chronic illness, grief, shame or relationship breakdown. Sessions are offered in English and he works with international clients by remote formats.

How his approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy is about offering attentive listening and compassion so people feel heard and can explore difficult emotions. It suits issues like grief, parenting strain and low self esteem where being understood matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours with small experiments; it is useful for anxiety, sleep or mood problems. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons to change, which can support recovery from addiction or moving through life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions use less internet bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties and varied time zones, while keeping the focus on steady, ongoing support.
