About Robert

Robert Karami is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and big life changes. He brings a thoughtful, empathic presence and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents and individuals. Robert speaks English and Persian and works with people from varied cultural backgrounds.

He keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. Conversations are led by the client's concerns and goals rather than a set script. Robert uses listening, gentle reflection and practical exercises to help people notice patterns and make small changes that matter in daily life.

Clinically, he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centred approaches alongside psychodynamic and existential ideas. That mix allows him to offer techniques for symptom relief and space to consider deeper personal meaning when needed.

He has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. This background informs a calm and curious working style aimed at helping people feel understood and clearer about next steps.

If someone wants to start, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The process is set up so people can take it at their own pace and begin when they feel ready.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses practical exercises to clarify values and to take small steps that matter in daily life, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and body image concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses structured techniques to reduce symptoms. It often includes behavioural experiments and simple homework to try between sessions, which can help with panic, social anxiety and low mood.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding, giving people space to tell their story at their own pace. This approach supports emotional processing and can be paired with other methods when exploring trauma or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how interventions feel in practice, and then adapt methods to suit the person's needs. That collaborative decision-making helps ensure the approach matches what someone hopes to achieve.

For practicalities, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means exercises and written handouts can be shared between meetings, helping people apply what they discuss to everyday life.
