I was struggling with anxiety and setting boundaries both personally and professionally. Rob helped massively with giving me the tools I need to start taking control of my life and putting boundaries in place. This helped reduce my anxiety and contribute to overall better sense of well-being and work life balance. I cant thank him enough.

Working with Rob has been an absolute pleasure and I struggle to imagine you'll meet a nicer guy! I went to Reach Out Therapy to help get over my fear of flying but we ended up covering a whole gambit of things from fear, my career, and even sleeping better. Rob gave me some amazing techniques that I can continue to work on and utilise whenever I need to... and I definitely intend to keep doing my homework! After just a few weeks working with Rob I am sleeping properly for the first time in my life (that part literally changed overnight), and I've got more belief in myself. We'll see about the

I began speaking to Rob at the beginning of this year and through our sessions I have been able to come to terms with, accept and understand the way I was feeling. This is all down to Rob being easy going, kind and understanding making it far easier to be honest and open about how I was feeling. Speaking to Rob has given me a new outlook on life and has helped me to feel balanced and in control. I cant thank him enough.
