After a first career in mainframe computer programming before “Windows” existed, Robin Prag shifted direction and eventually qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 1999. Robin emigrated from Johannesburg, South Africa in early 2004, soon settled in Western Australia, and has since worked continuously as a clinical psychologist in Perth.
Robin is registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and the Psychology Board of Australia, as well as with the Australian Psychological Society.
Robin initially worked at Relationships Australia and then for Davidson Trahaire Corpsych – ultimately as the WA State Counselling Manager. Prior to 2008 when he transitioned to working in private practice at Kingsway Counselling Clinic, Robin was employed as Senior Clinical Psychologist for Centrecare Corporate and subsequently for Edith Cowan University. In 2018 Robin established a solo private practice, Robin Prag Psychology, based primarily in Duncraig in Perth’s Northern suburbs.
In addition to individual counselling for adults, Robin also provides clinical supervision to other psychologists and counsellors. Robin has developed and facilitated a variety of group trainings for both clients and therapists.
When working in the corporate world, Robin provided both management and teams consultancy to a large range of private, government, and also not-for-profit organisations.
Robin has always tried to help his clients achieve more than the mere “elimination of symptoms” – helping his clients to living their lives more meaningfully, and pointing them on the road to developing a deeper sense of personal fulfillment and life satisfaction.
Over the past two decades Robin’s counselling approach has evolved and transformed into a fundamentally growth-oriented model, rather than being yet another problem-elimination approach.
With his Listening to Life model, Robin continues to make use of his considerable knowledge of, and experience in, the traditional evidence-based approaches of psychotherapy. However, Robin now always helps his clients to to use the Listening to Life model as a powerful guiding map in overcoming their life challenges. Robin has found that working in this way helps his clients to discover their own individual paths to healing and personal transformation, and this more quickly and more effectively results in an enhancement in the quality of their daily lived experience.
Carl Jung said that ultimately it is not what the psychotherapist does, but who the therapist is, that helps their clients to heal.
Who Robin is, has been fundamentally shaped by his own extensive journeying and adventuring along a road less traveled. And learning to listen to, and to find the guidance in, his own life circumstances has not only helped Robin to meaningfully navigate the obstacles along his personal path, but is now also an essential part of what he brings to assisting his psychotherapy clients.
