About Robert
Robert Karami is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. He aims to provide a calm and respectful space where someone can talk through what matters to them.
Robert uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person's experience at the heart of each session. He also draws on cognitive behavioural tools and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. Sessions are guided by what the individual brings, not by a fixed script.
Having grown up in a different culture, he brings an awareness of how upbringing and cultural expectations shape feelings and decisions. That background informs how he listens and responds to concerns about identity, belonging and relationships.
People come to him for help with issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, workplace strain and problems with self-worth. He also supports work around attachment, abandonment, body image, guilt and shame.
With four years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - Robert aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. He encourages practical steps between sessions and pays attention to each person’s values and goals when planning next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person's lead; online sessions using this approach prioritise the person's concerns and pace, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying what matters most. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and commit to values-based action; online ACT work often uses short exercises and practical tasks to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple techniques to test unhelpful patterns and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels comfortable and useful, and together they will choose methods that match the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may evolve as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can allow briefer check-ins when life is hectic, or longer sessions when time allows. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and can choose the one that best fits everyday needs.
