About Robert
Robert Karami is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. He speaks English and Persian and draws on his cultural background to understand how upbringing shapes feelings and behaviour. He holds BACP accreditation, which signals his professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Robert uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of painful experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and personal values, alongside exploring how past events affect present choices. He pays attention to feelings like shame, guilt, loneliness and abandonment, and to issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, body image and workplace stress. His approach combines a few different therapy styles to match what each person needs.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to act on what matters while tolerating difficult feelings. He also draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand relationships and deeper patterns that repeat over time.
This gives space for both practical tools and looking at long-standing emotional themes. Robert works with people who want a calm, respectful and non-judgemental setting to talk through problems. He encourages small, achievable changes and checks in about progress often.
His aim is to help people regain control and move towards a clearer sense of purpose and wellbeing.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps towards them despite discomfort, which is often helpful for anxiety and avoidance patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, useful for panic attacks, social anxiety and low mood.
Client-centred work emphasises empathy and the client's own pace. It gives space to be heard and to make sense of emotions, supporting people who need a steady, respectful relationship while they work through hard experiences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will adapt methods as progress and needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a break at work or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life, and they allow the same therapeutic methods to be used at a distance.
