Grigore Counselling & Associates

Robert’s work has had a profound impact on me, and my life. I cannot say it more clearer than that. This man is an expert in his field and I have been overwhelmed by how much he can achieve in a relatively short period of time. Not only do I enjoy working with Robert as his client, I enjoy working with him as a man. One of the most telling aspects of my work with Robert is that those around me have noticed the difference and are commenting daily on the changes to my thought process and stress-levels. I cannot recommend him more highly, and will do so at every appropriate moment.

Anxiety and depression ailed me intermittently from an early age. The anxiety and depression was mild to start and I never thought to seek any treatment. I was frequently told that I was overly sensitive, needed to toughen up and that I should just stop worrying. Feeling self-conscious about what went on in my mind, I suffered silently.I felt my symptoms were manageable since I was able to function on a day to day basis. Some unfortunate events then took place and I also experienced multiple losses of loved ones. With no tools to cope and feeling completely alone I developed panic attacks and fell deep into depression. At times I felt as though I couldn't breath and I was always exhausted.It became difficult to concentrate at work and I isolated myself from all friends and family. I no longer felt that I could function in society and became fearful to leave my house. Whilst the anti-depressants helped, I knew that I did not want to be on medication for the rest of my life. My doctor referred me to Robert Grigore. At first I was reluctant to even work with Robert because I thought I would perhaps be more comfortable with a female counsellor. After speaking with Robert over the phone I completely changed my mind.He was compassionate and easy to talk to. He was also the first person to introduce EMDR to me. I liked the idea of a different type of therapy that didn't just consist of talking about your problems. During my EMDR treatment with Robert I greatly appreciated his professionalism, patience and overall kind demeanor.Robert helped me wean off the anti-depressants and now I am fully functioning and happy. It is a very satisfying feeling to be free of medication and truly healed in the mind.I cannot thank Robert enough for the difference he made in my life.

I was dealing with trauma from relocating and losing my job suddenly, and family trauma both past and present. Healing from these things is a problem for however long they plague you until you get help. My trauma manifested in depression, anxiety, lower self esteem, and isolation.Robert makes you feel totally at ease sharing anything, because he explains the process so well and has such a kind and professional manner that sets you at ease. He is also very thoughtful and thorough. He helped me to let go of some deep seated limiting beliefs that I hadn’t realized were what was making it so hard to get through the current traumas in my life. And he provided me with some super helpful techniques to release immediate anxiety. I would definitely recommend Robert.The EMDR technique he uses adds the physical energetic reset that makes the difference between continually going back to revisit a problem - because you can’t quite let go of the core of it - and moving on from it.Don’t wait – try it – it can’t hurt – it truly helps!!!

Thanks to Grigore Counselling I was able to work through my own mental blockages that continued to burn me out throughout my career. Robert helped me immensely on my journey and was very kind and patient throughout the whole process. The results were quick and implemented with care and professionalism. Highly recommend EMDR/Therapy with Grigore Counselling. You will be very glad with your decision to go with them.

You never know when the trauma you’ve kept deep inside will rise to the surface…until it does. I reached out to Robert shortly after the darkest time in my life. I knew I needed to change my life narrative forever. Robert. Check. I experienced EMDR in the past and knew I needed that too. Robert. Check. Check.What I needed most of all, though, was a man to trust and to be a partner in my healing. Robert was (is) that man. The shift he was instrumental in guiding me through was nothing short of life altering. I had been operating below my potential for forty years with a secret locked inside eating away at my core! My family, friends, clients, the world, deserve the best of me. I deserve that more than anything. Robert has helped unshackle me from the grip of abuse, so I can trust myself to let others know me…because I know I am worth it.I am placing Robert on the Good Men List" along with others who are worthy

Robert is an amazing therapist and person. I feel very comfortable with him and each session teaches me something new about myself. Definitely worthwhile and meaningful. Highly recommend AAA+

Robert is an incredibly talented therapist. He’s intuitive, empathic and extremely skilled at EMDR. He’s able to break down complex situations and get to the heart of the matter quickly. He is someone I look up to and feel very supported by!

Words simply cannot describe the changes I have undergone working with Robert! I have experienced so much emotional trauma, I truly believed some of it was going to be stuck with me. Little did I know that Robert's techniques through EMDR were going to repattern it all, but that is exactly what happened.As a current Trauma Specialist, I cannot recommend Robert highly enough! His work is spot on and he is one of the most empathetic people I have ever met. He belongs in this line of work and it truly gifted at what he does for others.I am no longer plagued with that last bit of stuff" that I thought was going to be part of me forever. I am completely free of it and you can be

Before working with Robert I had a life long challenge with low self-worth. Little did I know prior to the work Robert and I did just how much it was impacting me in every area of my life. Working through this with Robert was amazing to say the least. He creates a safe and loving environment that allowed me to be vulnerable in ways I have never been before. Since working with Robert, my life has changed tremendously and for the first time in my life I feel worthy in ways I never thought possible. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking to heal and live the life they desire and deserve. I would encourage you to just reach out and have a consultation, it will be one of the best things you will ever do for yourself.

Working with Robert was effective, efficient and as pleasant as the process can be. He shares tools that are easy to implement, even in a crowd. I first heard about Robert on a podcast and thought EMDR sounded too good to be true. Turns out it is everything and more! After my initial (virtual) consultation we went to work on what I thought would help heal me. Turns out it helped heal some of the most meaningful relationships in my world as well, a nice added bonus! Some of these strains date back decades. This therapy is powerful when applied properly and I would highly recommend choosing Robert to help facilitate. You have so much to gain!
