Meet Rob
WELCOME
I’m a mental health advocate, expressing my passion and insight through supervision, mentoring, speaking, and writing.
As a former church pastor and chaplain for over thirty years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside thousands of people struggling with their emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Supervision
Professional supervision is a transformative learning experience essential for caring professions, such as church leaders, chaplains, healthcare and social workers.‡
Five benefits of supervision:
-
Enables you to reflect openly and courageously on yourself and your work.
-
Enhances a safe and supportive place to discern your possible vulnerabilities, biases and blind spots.
-
Ensures you and your workplace sustain healthy, moral and ethical boundaries.
-
Explore the wisdom and skills you need to navigate the challenges of your work better.
-
Embrace fresh perspectives about your soul and role.
Supervision is a base camp where batteries are recharged.

Mentoring focuses on who you are rather than what you do.

SHAME OFF YOU
Unshaming Mental Health Struggles
Do you have an irritating feeling inside? Is there something mysterious hindering you, pulling you down, and holding you back?
Shame is an intimidating sense of inferiority, which could be causing you to feel the way you do.
SHAME OFF YOU focuses on the shame connected with mental health struggles. It will take you on a pilgrimage for your soul, embracing the ancient wisdom of the Biblical narrative of shame and grace.
Read more
Underlying this ancient and timeless wisdom is a down-to-earth biography of Rob Mason’s journey of steadfast faith in God while navigating through the turmoil of shame, chronic anxiety, and panic attacks. Be assured that this book is readable, relatable, and profoundly practical.
Each chapter offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the nature of shame and the collateral damage it causes. You will gain invaluable knowledge of the catastrophic birth of shame, shame triggers, and the destructive shame narrative.
Don’t settle for concealing, distracting, and numbing your shame. There is no magical formula of recovery or a one-size-fits-all solution. The way out of shame is a daring journey that encompasses courageous vulnerability and dramatic ebbs and flows.
Are you ready to be a shame buster? Start reading and start moving in partnership with the Holy Spirit into shame-free living.

Rob Mason has a great track record at moving an idea to actual reality. He has been blessed with a compassionate heart for our community and the determination to follow through. He has over three decades of experience working alongside people and in communities and I am sure that his new venture to continue the journey to destigmatise mental health will be an important adjunct to improving the mental well-being of Australians.
Rob Mason is a skillful communicator who shares his personal journey with insight and pathos. He has an ability to connect with everyone’s day-to-day life and provide solutions for moving through difficult seasons and challenging times. Let him loose in your church or organisation, you will not be disappointed.
When we keep our mental health struggles secret, they don’t go away… they spread and cause greater problems down the road. Let Rob Mason’s life and story guide you towards the joy of a shameless journey, starting today!
I have known Rob Mason for many years and know him as a Christian leader of great integrity, who has ministered with very good communication, relational and creativity capacities.
Kindness, warmth and humour pepper Rob’s communication style. He’s a cool guy who is willing to talk about the uncool stuff of life. Rob has the unusual gift of being able to connect to a crowd, a crew or just you.
