About Robyn
Robyn Pitcher offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She draws on practical techniques when they help, and prefers to work at a steady, respectful pace. Robyn aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable and to help people find clearer ways forward.
She has three years' experience and is a BACP counsellor. Robyn trained and worked in South Africa and has supported adults and adolescents through concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties.
How Robyn works
She has particular experience with abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault and understands how these experiences affect daily life. In sessions she focuses on listening closely and helping people name what is happening for them. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy are used where they suit the person's goals.
Solution-focused ideas are applied to help people spot small, practical changes that make a difference. Robyn also helps with self-esteem, parenting strain, work stress, mood problems and issues around intimacy and body image. She will work with someone to plan coping strategies for difficult emotions and life changes.
The work aims to increase resilience and day-to-day wellbeing. Robyn offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, arranged to fit the client's life. Sessions are conducted in English and are for people based in the United Kingdom.

How Robyn’s approaches translate to online therapy
Robyn commonly draws on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy online. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood, which suits a steady online conversation about what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, mood and coping strategies.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Robyn will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide whether techniques from DBT or solution-focused methods should be included. This collaborative planning helps tailor the work to what the person wants to change or manage.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or visuals are distracting. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
