Robert Karami, BACP

Robert Karami is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. He speaks English and Persian and brings four years of professional experience to his work. Robert aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.

He draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas are among the ways he frames conversations. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding of patterns that get in the way.

Robert pays attention to how cultural background shapes feelings and relationships. That perspective helps when people are making sense of identity, belonging, or past hurts. He encourages honest talk about guilt, shame, abandonment, and isolation without rushing to fix things.

Work often includes setting manageable goals, building coping skills for panic or low mood, and exploring difficult memories when people are ready. He also supports people working through workplace stress, social anxiety, body image concerns, and questions about life purpose.

People usually find the pace calm and direct. Robert listens closely, reflects what he hears, and offers exercises or viewpoints to try between sessions. The focus is on small, steady changes that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses small actions tied to personal values to move life forward, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce panic, phobia and mood symptoms. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and relies on listening and empathy to build trust and self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more towards practical skill-building, deeper exploration of past patterns, or a mix of both.r>
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video gives face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone can be lower on bandwidth, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility while the therapist and client test what feels most effective for their progress.
