Robert Winstanley is a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist who supports people in working through personal difficulties and building more balanced lives. His work is grounded in respect, trust, tolerance, fairness, freedom of choice and honesty.
Robert practises using a Person-Centred approach while incorporating Egan’s Skilled Helper Model, tailoring methods to each client’s needs. By combining these approaches he provides a holistic and adaptable therapeutic experience that attends to emotional needs and practical challenges alike.
Since 2016 Robert has worked in the NHS and with various Employee Assistance Programme services across England and Ireland, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, work-related stress, bereavement and relationship concerns. He has experience supporting clients from diverse cultural, personal and neurodiverse backgrounds.
Robert has a particular interest in Critical Incident Stress Management Debriefs. In this role he supports people affected by traumatic events, travelling to workplaces throughout the UK to offer debriefing and practical support that helps individuals process their experiences and move forward.
One memorable client consulted Robert feeling overwhelmed by work-related stress and anxiety. Using a Person-Centred approach together with Egan’s Skilled Helper Model, they explored feelings and identified practical strategies. A turning point came when the client recognised the importance of setting boundaries and prioritising self-care - they began taking regular breaks, practising mindfulness and communicating their needs more clearly at work. Over time these changes led to a marked improvement in wellbeing, and witnessing that transformation was deeply rewarding for Robert.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For most common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages is flexibility. You can connect with a therapist in the way that suits you best - by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if the match does not feel right you can change to a different therapist at any time. Online therapy offers a practical and accessible route to address common mental health concerns while allowing therapy to fit around other commitments.
