Robin McAfee
Integrative Counsellor
I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I abide by their ethical principles and good practice standards. I trained at the Minster Centre, one of Europe's foremost integrative psychotherapy and counselling training organisations.
​
Integrative counselling has synthesised tried and tested techniques from different psychotherapy traditions rather than adhering to one school of thought. The result is a well-rounded, flexible and non-dogmatic approach which can adapt to the needs of the client. Integrative therapy can help with many different short and long-term issues. These include:
​
-
addiction
-
anxiety
-
anger
-
bereavement and loss
-
depression
-
diagnosed mental health issues
-
difficult family dynamics
-
LGBT+ issues
-
lack of purpose
-
loneliness and isolation
-
managing anger
-
minority stress
-
sexual difficulties

How I work
As an integrative counsellor I acknowledge that every client is unique and draw on different psychotherapy traditions to best support you.
​
​
I work collaboratively and offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.
​
Integrative counselling should provide you with support, awareness and the psychological resilience to better deal with life and make changes if these are needed.

If you would like to know more I suggest an initial brief phone conversation. If you would like we can then have an initial consultation. The first session is an opportunity for you to experience how I work and for me to learn more about what brings you to therapy. I charge a reduced rate of £50. for introductory sessions. At the end of this we usually decided whether you want to work on a short or long-term basis. However, if you need a few more sessions to decide then that is also fine.
If you decide that you want to work with me I offer weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes. These can be on a short-term or ongoing basis. My fee is £70.
​
I do hold open some low-cost sessions so please let me know if you are looking for this when you make contact.
