Robert Karami is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. He speaks English and Persian and draws on four years of professional experience. Robert offers a calm, respectful presence and helps people take the next steps when life feels overwhelming.

He tends to work in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to manage symptoms.

Background and approach

Techniques come from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas, and are chosen to match each person’s needs. Robert also pays attention to deeper patterns like attachment, abandonment fears, and issues around guilt, shame, or self-worth. He supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, body image concerns, workplace stress, and complex grief.

The aim is to understand how past experiences shape reactions today and to find realistic steps forward. His style is collaborative and goal-focused. People can expect a mix of talking, learning new skills, and reflecting on patterns that repeat in relationships and work.

He explains ideas in plain language and helps clients practice small changes between sessions. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients are not accepted.

Approaches in online counselling and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then commit to small actions that line up with their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviours to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the therapeutic relationship, with the counsellor offering empathy and understanding so the person can explore concerns at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will listen to what matters most, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust as progress is made. That means approaches may be combined or changed to suit how someone responds in real sessions.

Online therapy with this counsellor is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls work well for fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect and write between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life, or other commitments and still get consistent support.
