About Robert
Robert Lower is an ACA counsellor with 16 years of practical counselling experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and life changes. He keeps sessions straightforward and non-judgemental to make starting therapy less daunting.
Robert aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. He listens closely and helps clients find small, achievable steps that build confidence and motivation.
Background and approach
Sessions use clear language so people can take what they learn straight into their day. He draws on Jungian ideas alongside cognitive and acceptance-based tools to explore personal meaning and behaviour patterns. That mix helps when coping with grief, trauma, addiction and mood difficulties.
Work often moves between understanding past patterns and practising new ways of managing stress in the present. Robert has supported people with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, parenting strain, career uncertainty, intimacy issues, chronic illness and compassion fatigue. He also works with identity and sexual-health topics such as LGBT matters and kink-aware conversations.
The focus is always on the individual’s goals and practical next steps. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, dreams and recurring life themes to help people understand patterns that influence how they feel and behave. It can be useful when someone wants to explore meaning, identity or long-standing emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values; it is practical for managing anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early care and connection shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, trust and relational worry.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Robert will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT techniques for immediate coping and Jungian ideas for deeper exploration over time. The plan is reviewed and adjusted together as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls approximate a face-to-face meeting for deeper conversations, phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for quick reflections between sessions. These options help make therapy easier to schedule and keep working on goals between meetings.
