About Robert
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. He also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and workplace stress.
Robert offers straightforward, conversational therapy. Sessions centre on what is happening now and what feels most troubling. He uses clear methods from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred work to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
In practice he talks through memories and feelings alongside current problems. He pays attention to how cultural background shapes thinking and behaviour, drawing on his own experience of growing up in a different culture. That perspective informs gentle challenge and reflection rather than fixed advice.
Sessions look at practical steps as well as personal meaning. This can include testing small experiments, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and naming painful feelings like shame or guilt so they become easier to manage. Work can also explore longstanding patterns that affect relationships and self-image.
Robert works in English and Persian and sees people within the United Kingdom. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How his approaches inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small actions that matter, which can be useful for shame, guilt and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the work together rather than following a fixed plan from the start.
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, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these practical advantages to make sessions fit everyday life.
