- Name

- Occupation
- Psychologist
- Gender
Rob's long term interest in chronic pain and illness has resulted in considerable experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety and anger problems that are some of the emotional consequences of these conditions. While the major focus of treatment is always medical, how the individual manages the illness/pain they experience makes a considerable difference to their quality of life. It also helps the person to manage the long term impact of many illnesses. Relationship issues, loss of motivation, sexual problems, grief, addiction and many other forms of distress are generated by living with a chronic condition.
Rob's underlying philosophy is to focus on the here and now and address the current issues in a pragmatic and problem solving manner. It may be appropriate to go back through a person's history to enable understanding and change but only if it assists change in the present and future. He also believes quite strongly that the relationship a person has with their treating professional is an important component of the process in a manner that makes sense to you and assists you to resolve your problem.
