Stephen Robinson

I will be available for sessions after 5:00pm onwards Monday to Friday and I am available for sessions morning (10:00am until 2:00pm in the afternoon).

Thank you for taking the time to read my description.

The hardest thing about working with a new psychologist is finding the right one, sending that e-mail and then attending the first session. I know, I have been there too!

I pride myself on making you feel as welcome and relaxed as possible. After all, how can you get the best out of the sessions if you are not comfortable? As a result, I have created a comfortable, welcoming and relaxing space where we can work together on issues you'd like to present. 

I work in a mental health hospital with patients who have been sectioned under the mental health act. 

In my previous role, I worked as a staff psychotherapist/counsellor supporting staff who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

I work with clients privately and have a fully up-to-date enhanced DBS. I am also fully insured.

I am a HCPC Registered and chartered Counselling Psychologist. I am also accredited with the BABCP to deliver CBT. I am a qualified person-centred therapist, trained to deliver EMDR and DBT. I use many different tools to work with what you wish to explore. 

I lecture psychology at university and keep up to date with current research. I see counselling and psychotherapy as not just a job, It is my vocation, and I love what I do! 

I have extensive experience in leadership and management, and coaching, especially in the education sector, as I was once a senior leader and SENCO in a high school. 

I am quite open when it comes to my neurodiversity. I have ADHD and am dyslexic. However, I do not see this as a hindrance; it is my superpower ;-) 

My main method of counselling is Person-Centred; however, I use a range of therapeutic techniques, such as CBT, to support the client that I am working with.

If you have any further questions, then please do not hesitate to contact me.

PLEASE NOTE - I RESPOND QUICKER TO E-MAILS THAN LEAVING ME A TELEPHONE MESSAGE!

My private practice is a welcoming, purposefully designed therapy room. It is designed to make you feel as comfortable as possible. 

I offer online sessions and face-to-face sessions

The first half-hour session is FREE so that a purposeful therapeutic relationship can be established, you can get to know me and I can get to know you. Also, I completely understand how difficult it can be for you to start your therapeutic journey, so my approach is always open, warm and empathetic.

I am a qualified Counselling Psychologist, a Person-Centred Counsellor, an accredited CBT therapist and a qualified supervisor. 

In terms of my own practice, I work 3 days a week at a mental health hospital working with complex clients sectioned under the mental health act. I also work with a range of clients in private practice. 

I lecture Psychology and counselling at university and am an HCPC registered Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I consider myself an integrative therapist who works to the needs of the client. 

I worked in education for 15 years teaching psychology and becoming an assistant principal (SENCO) before leaving education to work in the mental health sector. 

My supervision style is open, honest and challenging when it needs to be. I use the Hawkins and Shohet 7 eye model of supervision when working with fellow therapists. 

I have supervised trainees and qualified therapists 

I offer face to face and online supervision sessions. The key thing that I pride myself in is providing therapists with a safe space to explore their process and their clients presentations.  

My first supervision session will be focussed on contracting and establishing exploring what you want out of supervision.
