Robert Karami , BACP

Robert Karami is an Iranian psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. He brings a thoughtful appreciation of how cultural background shapes emotions, relationships, and personal meaning, and uses that perspective to work sensitively with clients from diverse upbringings.

He offers help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and the challenges that come with major life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, workplace difficulties, and issues related to self-worth and social anxiety. Robert draws on a range of therapeutic models - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy - to tailor support to each individual.

Robert holds BACP membership, which indicates recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He aims to create a respectful, empathic, and nonjudgmental space where a person's story and goals shape the work together. Therapy is offered in English and Persian, and sessions can take place via phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. He is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Robert integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports choosing actions that align with personal values - useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, genuine listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore feelings and gain clarity - it often helps with grief, identity, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of depression, panic, and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses and drawing on different techniques when helpful. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly blend models in this way to best support individual change.

Online therapy with Robert can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, and to choose the format that suits the pace and style of each person’s therapeutic journey.
