Welcome to Robertson & Ling, a specialised, private therapy practice based in Hobart.

Robertson & Ling provide targeted and effective counselling for relationships, grief, parenting and family law challenges. We are committed to evidence-based, psycho-educative therapy. In all of our work, we use clear frameworks and effective interventions.

Key to the Robertson & Ling approach is equal emphasis on practical tools and compassionate support. This means clients receive care and understanding, alongside strategies for immediate use. We believe this combination gives clients the best chance to experience powerful change, regardless of what they are facing.

For many, there is nothing more impactful than the relationships we have, or have had, with those closest to us. We are passionate about helping people with these relationships. We love our work, and consider it a privilege to work with people in this way.
