About Robert
Robert Karami works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes, using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Robert draws on his background growing up in a different culture to understand how cultural upbringing shapes feelings and behaviour. He aims to listen closely and help people talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
His practice uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at values and action, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centred principles guide how he responds in sessions, placing the person's experience at the centre of the work.
Robert also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas to consider patterns from the past and questions about meaning when relevant. He can help with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic attacks and workplace stress.
Sessions are offered in English and Persian. He does not accept international clients, and his work is based in the United Kingdom. To begin, users follow the site matching steps to book a first session.
How his approaches work for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that fit those values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different ways of thinking and behaving, often helping with panic, mood and social anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and shapes the pace and focus according to what they bring.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and make decisions together about which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor the focus over the first few sessions rather than committing to a single method immediately.
Practical benefits of using remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or family life and reducing travel time. If you are considering online counselling, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly help people arrange sessions that fit their day-to-day routines, such as shorter check-ins or appointments outside usual office hours.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
