ROBIN FARRINGTON
Counselling Psychologist
Welcome and thank you for visiting my website. I am a Counselling Psychologist in private practice in Port Elizabeth. I provide psychotherapy and counselling for teenagers, adults and couples.
Everyone experiences periods of stress, sadness, grief and conflict. When feeling any of these or simply just feeling “off”, it may be difficult to know whether it is time to see a professional. Although it can be very helpful to talk to close friends and family members about your problems, sometimes we need help that friends and family are not able to provide. When you need extra support, an outside perspective, or some expert guidance, talking to a therapist or counsellor can help. While the support of friends and family is important, therapy is different. As a professionally trained therapist, my role is to assist you to get to the root of your problems, overcome emotional challenges, and make positive changes in your life.
Method of Intervention
I make use of an integrative approach with a strong influence from the cognitive-behavioural school. This means that I do not subscribe to only one psychotherapeutic school of thought but rather utilise an integration of different approaches so as to ensure a goodness of fit between client needs and therapeutic approach. I believe that each client is unique and my approach is therefore tailored accordingly to serve each client’s distinctive needs.
