Robert Karami

Robert Karami is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the fallout from trauma and abuse. He also supports people coping with life changes and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Robert speaks English and Persian and draws on his cultural background to understand different perspectives.

Robert uses a warm, respectful tone in sessions and aims to create a nonjudgemental space for honest conversation. He listens first, then helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions focus on the person in front of him and their immediate concerns rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

His work draws on several well-known approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. These methods are used to help with mood problems, panic, social anxiety, attachment difficulties and issues around guilt, shame and self-worth.

With four years of experience and a BACP registration, Robert combines talking therapy with plain, everyday tools. He pays attention to how culture and upbringing shape beliefs and relationships. That perspective helps when addressing problems such as abandonment, body image, narcissism and workplace stress.

People who choose Robert can expect collaborative planning and clear, practical steps alongside exploration of deeper patterns. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit their needs.

Approaches used in online work and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to you. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life transitions lead to avoidance and uncertainty.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep a problem going. It is often useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, mood problems and unhelpful day-to-day habits.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the conversation. The therapist follows your pace and helps build self-understanding and self-compassion, which can be important for issues like shame and self-love.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as you progress.

If you are considering online sessions, check the session formats available before booking. Confirm whether video, phone or other options are offered and choose what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and let you take part from a quieter place with less disruption to your day.
