This website was created to detail my own personal journey on my path to a more peaceful and less stressful life. I’ve read a lot, journaled and with the aid of the knowledge I gained from the books, documented my own thoughts in a book of my own. This helped me process some of the past traumas I experienced that were holding me back. In my role as a full-time counsellor, I often get asked by interested clients about my own journey and I direct them to this website.

However, if you have found this website through alternative means, then to place some of the contents into perspective, I am now a full-time counsellor providing online and in-person counselling at my premises in Shavington, which is based near Crewe and Nantwich in Cheshire and I have a dedicated website for this business at Jack Roberts Counselling.

But briefly, I qualified as a person-centred counsellor but am also comfortable working with mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural therapy techniques (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy and coaching.

Alongside issues such as anxiety, stress and depression there are some specific areas where I can bring particular expertise including:

• Therapy for men – as an older man I understand where men are coming from such as anger, addictions and not feeling comfortable talking about emotions.
• Neuroaffirmative therapy – this means learning to be comfortable with neurodivergence and finding ways of thriving from it, rather than it being treated as a problem to solve.
• Gifted Adults – this doesn’t just mean highly intelligent (although that is likely to be a part), it is related to the way the world is viewed and though patterns. Gifted Adults often need support to help them navigate the world and not feel so alienated
• Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) and Empaths – like Gifted Adults and neurodivergent individuals, HSPs and empaths can feel out of place and alienated. Counselling and support can help them find a way to thrive rather than struggling.
• Issues arising from childhood – many of us had problematic childhoods, e.g. abuse, bullying, parental separation, bereavement, living with alcoholic parents, etc. But even without abuse or major trauma there may be a significant legacy that we take into adulthood if we were never taught how to deal with our emotions and feelings. My counselling can help with that.
• Couples Counselling – I don’t just provide counselling for individuals, I also provide couples and relationship counselling.

I provide a flexible approach to session length, frequency, duration and can offer in-person, online and email counselling to suit your requirements. Visit https://jackrobertscounselling.co.uk/ for more details on my offering and these services.
