Robert Ferreira

Hi my name is Robert Ferreira and as a qualified Integrative Counsellor, I have experienced how life can be challenging, demanding and sometimes just hard, so we may feel the time is right to focus on ourselves and our mental health or maybe something from the past, present or uncertain future.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor which allows me to draw on knowledge and skills from various counselling approaches based on your individual circumstances in order to provide the most effective and personalised therapy for your needs.

I feel that counselling works best with a collaborative relationship in a safe, open, non-judgmental, compassionate environment. At times counselling may be challenging and is a commitment, and at other times very fulfilling, but ultimately we will work together to provide you emotional support and guidance through these difficult times or specific mental health issues.

I have experience working with a diverse group of clients from many cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds with a wide variety of issues. 

The first session allows us to work together on self-exploration to establish what you hope to gain from counselling, whether we can work together and what is achievable. Often it is useful to have a clear goal or objective in mind to ensure you are getting the most from the work, but that isn’t essential. At other times you may want to be spontaneous, there is no right or wrong.
