Rob has now been my therapist for several years: his support, guidance, and encouragements have been invaluable. His wide-ranging expertise in wildly different life areas and his understanding of different cultures has made my experience of therapy —and coaching when needed— so seamless and fruitful. Thank you!

Robert is an amazing therapist. I can talk to him on eye level and get new ideas and input and yet he is willing to adjust every method to find what works for me personally. He never dismisses any struggles and talking to him is very validating. I feel seen and heard and most importantly: not alone with my problems. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Working with Robert is one of the best decisions I have made to better my life in a positive way. Robert is very supportive, understand and helpful to the things that matter to me . I’m very grateful for the support and how comfortable Robert has made my online therapy journey.

I had always considered therapy for the longest time, but after going through a particularly dark period in my life, had never truly acted upon it. Deciding that enough was enough, I had turned to betterhelp to try and quell those dark thoughts that had be n clouding over my life. Shortly after this, I was put in touch with Robert, who really listened to my past and present. He helped me develop some much needed techniques to help me deal with my everyday conundrums, for which I will always be grateful.

Robert has offered me support and advice to manage stress levels, the CBT techniques he recommended have been especially helpful in managing this. The sessions have helped me develop more comfortability with expressing my feelings. The worksheets he provided gave good insight and opportunities to reflect about life goals and more broadly developing a more positive outlook and emotional resilience.

Robert is a kind and wonderful therapist! He has made me feel extremely comfortable in our sessions and has provided such useful coping techniques and approaches that have challenged my thinking and self to be a better person to myself. Extremely grateful and recommend!

Expert advice. Advice. Gentle guidance

I recommend sessions with Robert to anyone dealing with multiple contexts at the same time, and struggling in different aspects of their life: he is a wholesome therapist, reliable, focused, empathic and friendly. The right balance to pursue a journey together, whether to get over a short term crisis or to slowly evolve into being a more structured, happy and healthy person. I started video sessions with Rob in October of 2022 when my life felt very overwhelming. He has helped me ever since: both in coming to terms with personal and family issues and in focusing to pull through with my career moves and PhD work. After having tried different forms of in-person therapy in the different countries I have lived in, he is the first person with whom I found regular support, focused on a broad range of issues, and most importantly: with a true understanding of multilocal living, the struggle of anchoring to new places, while still nurturing a broad network of friends and loved ones. He is open-minded, you can discuss anything with him. Thanks Rob, you have made such a difference!

I worked with Robert as my therapist, and he helped me overcome a tough breakup, build self-confidence, and find happiness again. Robert's compassionate and non-judgmental approach made it easy to open up to him, and his practical tools and exercises were instrumental in helping me manage my emotions and overcome difficult situations. I appreciated his unwavering support and kindness and always felt seen and heard.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the caring support from Robert. He has been an inspiring, professional, and trustworthy friend. Walking out of this, I've been able to understand and manage my depression much much better. And I couldn't have been able to make it without him. Thank you for walking me out of the darkness. And I will truly miss our sessions together on my way forward.

I started talking with Robert when I was going through a rough spot full of self-doubt and mood swings. Talking with him helped me gain better self esteem and learn to get better control of my emotions and channel them the right way. He is a very positive and supportive person. Has lots of real life lessons to learn from. It was pleasure to have this experience with him.

Robert has offered me a variety of tools to cope with anxiety and stress. We've worked proactively to outline goals and he's been very supportive noting progress made.
