About Robert Marshall

Robert Marshall is a person-centered counsellor who takes a grounded, holistic approach to therapy. He combines careful listening with empathy and compassion to create space for clients to be open and honest without fear of judgment. Robert draws on experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing gained through volunteer work with Tayside Council on Alcohol, while maintaining a core focus on person-centered practice that privileges the client's experience and emotional life.

He accepts that people are fallible and different, and he meets each person with an open mind rather than labels or assumptions. In sessions he works closely with emotions, helping clients explore feelings and responses in a supportive, down-to-earth atmosphere. Robert also speaks from lived experience: he faced addiction and depression to the point of not wanting to wake up, sought help, and now lives in recovery. That background informs his compassionate style and belief that change is possible.

Robert holds BACP membership, which indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and alignment with established professional standards in the United Kingdom. His manner is practical and approachable, aiming to help people connect with their priorities and move forward at a pace that suits them.

Person-Centered, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing Online

Robert Marshall uses person-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on empathetic listening, acceptance, and working at the client's pace to explore feelings and personal goals - it is helpful for building self-understanding and emotional resilience.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often used for issues such as anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping people find their own reasons and motivation for change, which can be particularly useful when addressing addiction or ambivalence about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robert works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods feel most useful for their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts his style as those needs evolve. Registered professionals and therapists often combine techniques in this way to tailor care to the person in front of them.

Online therapy with Robert is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from wherever a client is based and to maintain continuity of care through life transitions.
