Robert Karami, BACP

Robert Karami is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people coping 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 practice. Robert aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, respectful space to begin talking about what matters most to you.

He draws on several established approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred work to match the method to the person. Sessions focus on what you want to change, practical steps you can try between meetings, and understanding how past experiences shape present reactions. Conversations are paced to your needs and preferences.

His background growing up in a different culture informs how he sees identity, family expectations and cultural pressures. That perspective helps when working through concerns such as attachment, abandonment, body image, shame, isolation or workplace stress. He also supports people dealing with panic, social anxiety, narcissistic dynamics and post-traumatic stress.

Robert uses empathic listening and collaborative planning rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. He will help you set small, realistic goals and review progress together. Therapy is framed as a partnership where your values and priorities steer the work.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change reactions and mood. It can be useful for panic, social anxiety and routine stress management. Client-Centred Therapy centres on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so a person feels heard and understood; this approach underpins other active techniques and supports grief or loneliness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT and client-centred listening and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets the therapist and client try practical exercises together, review homework between sessions and maintain continuity when life changes make in-person meetings harder.
