Psychology led coaching and therapy for professionals that want depth and change

I’m a qualified psychologist with over 15 years’ experience working across clinical, corporate, and high-performance environments.

I don't work with trend-driven coaching or surface-level interventions, I work with individuals who want strong, evidence-based and individualised support that facilitates real, valuable change in their lives.

My Approach

Psychology-led work for people operating in complex realities

I work from the position that human behaviour is rarely simple, linear, or isolated. Performance, well-being, and decision-making are shaped by the interaction between thoughts, emotions, context, history, and systems; not by motivation or technique alone.

My approach is grounded in psychological formulation rather than surface-level goal setting. This means taking the time to understand what is actually happening, why certain patterns persist, and what needs to change in order for progress to be sustainable.

I draw on evidence-based psychological frameworks and adapt them to the realities of professional and personal life. This allows me to work fluidly across therapy and coaching contexts, while maintaining clear ethical boundaries between the two.

Clients often come to me when generic approaches have not worked, when the issue is nuanced, emotionally complex, or embedded in a demanding role or environment. My role is to bring clarity, structure, and depth, without oversimplifying or pathologising the problem.

The work is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in psychological science, focused on meaningful change rather than quick fixes.

For Professionals

Discreet, psychology-led support for complex roles and responsibilities

I work with professionals operating in high-pressure, high-responsibility environments. Many of the individuals I support hold senior or visible roles and require a level of depth, discretion, and rigour that generic approaches do not provide.

My experience spans clinical practice and professional settings, allowing me to understand both the psychological and contextual demands of complex work. I am accustomed to working confidentially and creating a psychologically safe space for thoughtful, structured exploration.

I maintain clear ethical boundaries between therapy, coaching, and consultancy, and will always recommend the most appropriate form of support based on your role and needs.

About

I am a qualified psychologist with over 15 years’ experience working across clinical practice, organisational psychology, and high-performance environments.

My work is grounded in psychological formulation — an approach that considers the whole person, including personality, cognition, emotion, behaviour, history, and context. Whether the work is therapeutic or coaching-based, change is understood as something that emerges from this broader understanding, rather than from isolated goals or techniques.

In therapy, this involves careful, ethical work with psychological distress, emotional regulation, trauma, and long-standing patterns. In coaching, it means applying the same depth of psychological understanding to performance, decision-making, identity, and behaviour in professional roles — without pathologising normal human responses to pressure and complexity.

I am trained in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, and my work is guided by psychological science rather than trend-driven models.

“What stood out was the depth of Rob’s thinking. He didn’t rush to solutions or techniques, but helped me properly understand the patterns driving my behaviour. That clarity changed how I approached both my work and my decisions.”

“I felt understood in a way I hadn’t experienced before. The work was careful, structured, and never rushed. Over time, patterns that had felt overwhelming became clearer and more manageable, and the changes felt steady and lasting rather than forced.”

Director, Professional Services

I had worked with coaches before, but this felt very different. The work was structured, thoughtful, and grounded in real psychological understanding. It was challenging in the right way and led to changes that have genuinely lasted.”
