Robert Thompson

My communication style

I have been described as providing a safe, secure, calm, serene, and trusting environment for clients. I have been told that I come across as sincere, and with that dynamic, I make clients feel heard and accepted for who they are. Clients report feeling unconditional positive regard when working with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

My personal history has presented me with many of the challenges that my clients face. I have sought to live out Viktor Frankl's concept of 'redeeming my pain' to find purpose and meaning in my life. I am driven to do this work to help others redeem their own pain and find their own purpose and meaning in their lives.

My goals for you

The practical creation of goal setting follows the SMART goal format. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time Bound. Goals are those of the client and are reached through a collaborative process led by the client. Goals will be based on what the client wants to achieve in the allotted time that we have been given to achieve them.

Our first session

Clients should expect the first session to focus on building rapport between the client and me, discussing the presenting problem, and the beginning and possible completion of the bio-psychosocial assessment.
