Robert Torday

I work most weekdays, and can start at 7.30 am, if required. I also have some early evening slots available.

I have a Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling from the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC). My integrative training has allowed me to draw on a variety of therapeutic models and methods, which means I can adapt my approach to suit your specific concerns.

At our first meeting, we will set out to understand why you are looking for counselling and I will then adapt my approach to address your specific concerns. I offer a safe and confidential environment – free from judgement – a space for exploration and discovery, a protected hour in which you will be listened to, where we can together explore and come to understand some of the more difficult aspects of your life, so that you are able to live it to the fullest – becoming more grounded and more aware.

Your decision to explore counselling may be prompted by any number of reasons. You may have experienced the loss of somebody close to you. Perhaps your life is confused right now due to challenging personal or work relationships. You may be experiencing depression or fear or loneliness. Or you may wish to look at yourself and reflect on your patterns of behaviour in a new way. Counselling offers an opportunity to be your full self, to express any thoughts and feelings you may have and still feel fully accepted. 

I normally suggest an initial introductory phone call - an opportunity for you to identify what brings you to therapy and for me to set out the way in which I work. This conversation usually takes about 15 minutes and is free.
