About Robert Winstanley
His practice is grounded in respect, trust, tolerance, fairness, freedom of choice, and honesty. He employs a Person-Centred approach while incorporating Egan's Skilled Helper Model, adapting techniques to suit each person's circumstances. By blending these methods he aims to offer a flexible, holistic way of working that addresses both emotional needs and practical problems, helping clients identify solutions while also attending to their feelings.
Since 2016 he has worked within the NHS and in various employee assistance programmes across England and Ireland, offering support for depression, anxiety, work-related stress, bereavement, and relationship concerns. He has experience with clients from a range of cultural, personal, and neurodiverse backgrounds.
Robert has a particular interest in Critical Incident Stress Management Debriefs and travels to workplaces across the UK to support people affected by traumatic events, helping them to process their experiences and find ways to move forward. He recalls working with a client overwhelmed by workplace stress and anxiety who struggled to balance job demands with personal life. Using the Person-Centred approach alongside Egan's model, they explored feelings and developed practical strategies such as setting boundaries, prioritising self-care, taking regular breaks, practicing mindfulness, and communicating needs more clearly at work. Over time these changes supported a renewed sense of balance and wellbeing, a result Robert found deeply rewarding as a therapist.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that works best for them, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
Therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be helpful. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, effective way to work on personal goals and manage everyday challenges with the guidance of a trained therapist.
