Robert Bal

I offer one-to-one counselling psychotherapy. My approach to the work involves the understanding that the hurts we experience cause wounds within us, wounds which result in us having hidden, painful thoughts and feelings which we are generally taught to avoid. As a result of this we learn over time to disconnect from our own internal experience – my belief is that this disconnection is what causes the problems we typically seek therapy for.

My hope is to work alongside clients to help them build awareness of their internal experience – and to explore with them whether there might be another way to deal with their pain and anxiety, one that might leave them able to respond to the events of their life with a more adaptive, resilient, and compassionate sense of their own self.
