About Robert
Robert Karami, BACP, is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. He speaks English and Persian and brings personal experience of different cultures to his practice.
Robert focuses on practical ways to reduce distress. Sessions look at unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and test out different responses. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods to keep the work focused and manageable.
He pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns. He also supports people troubled by body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, workplace stress, panic attacks and mood problems. For trauma he draws on trauma-focused ideas and longer-term psychodynamic thinking when it helps to make sense of past events.
In sessions Robert aims for clear goals and steady steps. He helps people notice thinking habits, try new behaviours, and reflect on what feels important in life. Progress is measured in small changes that matter day to day.
To begin, a short questionnaire and a first appointment are used to match goals and plan the work. He does not accept international clients at this time, and fees vary by location through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Robert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that keep problems going. CBT sessions tend to involve clear steps, short exercises and practical tasks to try between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of his work and focuses on recognising difficult thoughts while committing to values-based action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. He also uses client-centred ideas which put the person’s concerns and priorities at the centre of each session.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. That choice can shift as the work develops and as different tools prove useful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also work well when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Ask about languages and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire.
