Robert Jarvis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He has worked mainly in the charity sector and brings a straightforward, down-to-earth manner to sessions. Robert aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk things through.

His practice draws on third-wave cognitive behavioural approaches, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and existential ideas. He uses these methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low mood.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing relationship strain, sleep problems and major life changes. Robert helps people explore patterns such as avoidance, control issues, impulsivity and attachment difficulties. He also works with concerns related to shame, guilt, loneliness and questions about life purpose.

There is a focus on practical steps as well as examining underlying values and meaning. Sessions are shaped to each person’s situation and goals. Robert aims to be clear about what will be worked on and why, and to agree simple, manageable steps between meetings.

He prefers plain language and practical tools rather than jargon. Robert holds NCPS as a credential. He speaks English and provides therapy through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

International clients are not currently accepted.

How ACT, CBT and existential ideas work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then work towards actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and problems with avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with mood, sleep and anger. Existential therapy involves talking about meaning, choice and responsibility to help people facing life transitions or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit. Together they will try different techniques and agree what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online sessions bring practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone does not want to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or choose a shorter, written way to communicate. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
