Testimonials
Anon
“I can’t recommend Robin enough. Her warm, empathetic approach makes every session feel safe and supportive. She is a great listener and offered me practical tools that have really helped me navigate life’s challenges”
Darren
“I can’t thank Robin at Counselling Solution enough for her help, kindness and listening during my darkest time; the passing of my wife after 33yrs. I was diagnosed with deep depression and was really struggling. I joined her grieving group and can honestly say after the first session I could feel a shift in the right direction, and it only strengthened through out her course. I highly recommend her”
M
“Being a man, I was very hesitant about starting counselling, but Adrian made the process feel natural and supportive. He listens without judgment, and helps make sense of complex emotions in a straightforward, practical way. His empathy and insight have helped me manage stress and improve how I communicate with the people I care about.”

“I find that Adrian often brings another fresh perspective to some issue I’ve been wrestling with, something that I wasn’t aware of at the time.”
GW
“We were having issues in our relationship. Robin listened to both of us without any judgement and offered valuable advice and worked with us in improving our communication with each other. We would not hesitate in recommending Robin to anyone that needed someone to talk to and also listen!”
S
“Adrian really listens and seems to understand without making me feel rushed or even judged. His reflective guidance has helped me find my way forward from a dark place. I have confidence again. I always leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, with practical tools I am using in my life.”
BH
“I’ve had a great experience with Robin. She’s very attentive and caring with a very warm, positive approach. Very helpful, highly recommend!”
J&L
We came feeling disconnected and stuck in repeating patterns of conflict. From the very first session, Adrian’s calm, understanding approach made it easy for both of us to open up. He helped us really listen to each other and communicate more honestly. We’ve rebuilt trust and feel more connected than we have in years. We can’t thank him enough.
