Robert James Consultancy
Building on leadership experience to support business owners through advisory and coaching
I offer an approachable professional psychotherapy and coaching service, integrating my clinical training and practice, with my leadership experience developing teams and overseeing operations. Previous senior leadership experiences include being CEO of a therapy training organisation, The Counselling Foundation for over 9 years. Most recently alongside my private practice I am Head of Therapeutic Services at The School of Life, and I oversee the day to day operations and clincial development of the online therapy service which has a global reach.
My aim is to help clients through therapy to achieve clarity and insight so that they can make better sense of their lives, feeling more empowered and with improved emotional resilience. My practice has three pillars; personal therapy, couples work and trauma / PTSD work. I practice EMDR, a treatment for trauma and PTSD informed by neuroscience, which is endorsed by NICE and used in the NHS.
My key services are:
The therapy I provide is relationship focussed, in terms of what I draw attention to in the client’s world with others, as well as resolving conflicts and tensions within themselves. My work appeals to a range of professionals and couples looking to address blocks to achieving personal goals, improve their relationship and enhance mental health.

I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) with ‘Richman EMDR training’, an internationally recognised and accredited training, and attachment focused EMDR with Mark Brayne based on the work of Laura Purnell. EMDR offers a cutting-edge technique which enables a timely reduction in the symptoms of anxiety and trauma. EMDR is both NHS and NICE approved.

Personal inspiration in my work
In my couples work I draw from the work of Harville Hendricks and their IMAGO model, as well as the work from the Gottman Institute which has a research base to the work. Clients often ask themselves ‘why’ they have arrived at this place in their lives. Feedback from psychotherapy clients demonstrates that during and after our work together, they have approached the choices they face in their life with a sense of courage and greater personal freedom, whether in their roles as a parent, a partner or a leader.
I offer services that can empower you with the necessary insight and courage in order to take the next steps on your journey. You can call me on 07888 754819 or email contact@robertcuming.co.uk to discuss how we might work together to help you positively move forward in your life.
