Inge Robinson, BACP

Inge uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, listening closely and adapting the conversation to what matters most. This way of working helps with low mood, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage intrusive thoughts and strong emotions. Simple practices help people notice feelings and bring attention back to the present, which can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

Solution-focused work is used to identify small, practical steps that quickly make a difference. This approach suits people who want brief, goal-oriented support alongside deeper conversation about underlying issues.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods as needs and goals become clearer. Clients and therapist decide together on the best way forward based on personal preferences and what is proving useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility and can fit around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time allow, phone sessions work well when a camera is not wanted, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to keep continuity and to work steadily towards goals without long travel times.
