After a first career in mainframe computer programming in the time before “Windows” existed, Robin Prag shifted career direction and eventually qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 1999.
Robin is registered with AHPRA and with the Psychology Board of Australia, as well as with the Australian Psychological Society. Robin emigrated from Johannesburg in South Africa in early 2004, soon settled in Western Australia, and since then has worked continuously as a clinical psychologist in Perth.
Robin initially worked at Relationships Australia and then for the EAP, 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 his mainstay work of individual & couples counselling, Robin also provides clinical supervision to other psychologists & allied mental health professionals, has run group trainings for various NGO’s, and has provided management and teams consultancy to a large range of West-Australian based corporations.
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 has been Robin’s ultimate goal in counselling.
Over the past two decades Robin’s counselling approach has evolved and transformed into a fundamentally growth-oriented model, rather than being just 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 uses the Listening to Life model as a powerful guiding map to help his clients overcome their difficulties. From much experience, 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 and formed 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 navigate the obstacles in his way whilst still maintaining a rich appreciation for his life, but is now an essential part of what he brings to assisting his psychotherapy clients.
