Robert Karami

Robert Karami is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. Robert also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose.

He keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Robert listens to what is important to each person, then uses practical methods to help them manage feelings and make decisions. He draws on approaches that look at thoughts and behaviour as well as deeper emotional patterns.

Robert uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to find small, testable changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. His work includes psychodynamic and existential ideas when looking at past experiences and what gives life meaning.

People can expect to talk through recent problems and longer standing patterns. He pays attention to relationships, workplace strain and how cultural background affects feelings. Sessions often involve trying out new ways of coping between meetings and reflecting on what is useful.

Robert speaks English and Persian. He does not work with international clients at this time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to see how the practical work might fit their situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to reduce panic, social anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, checking in and adapting the plan as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings are needed or when a session without video is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of ways to meet; discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you schedule the first session.
