Bobby has lived a varied life and career. He has worked in many employment sectors, some of these include - Automotive, Advertising and Marketing. He has also held many manual roles from an early age and has always enjoyed this creative side to his personality. His skillset is wide with experience ranging from Boat Building to leading Conservation Volunteers in practical tasks. He has also owned his own Handyman and Gardening business since 2017.
His Approach
Bobby's approach/philosophy is truly Humanistic in its foundations with a Person-Centred passion for supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing.
He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where there is no expectation to have the “right” words or to present yourself in a certain way. Sessions move at your pace, allowing you the time to explore what’s going on for you in a way that feels manageable. He empowers his clients to feel comfortable sharing their problems and therefore - approach them with confidence.
As a Person-Centred Counsellor, Bobby believes meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely heard. Relationally works alongside you - not above you - creating a calm environment where trust develops naturally. He values honesty, patience and authenticity in the counselling relationship. Sessions move at your pace. The space is yours.
In addition Bobby has gained skills to offer CBT tools and is futuring his qualification in the new academic term. This means his work can offer a more guided Psycho-Education therapy if required.
What it's like working with Bobby
Bobby is human and real within the Therapeutic Relationship. He is warm, and grounded - offering both understanding and gentle challenges where needed, to support meaningful and lasting change. This Relational therapy is tailored to a person as an individual, integrating pro-rata as a client needs something. Bobby has a great knowledge of counselling tools (Mindfulness, CBT, Somatics) enabling a more holistic approach, if clients require these within their sessions.
Whether this is your first experience of therapy or you’ve tried counselling before, Bobby offers a steady, supportive presence to help you better understand yourself and move forward with greater ease.
