Robert Karami, BACP

Robert Karami is an Iranian psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He brings a culturally informed perspective shaped by growing up in a different cultural context, which supports a sensitive and respectful approach to how upbringing influences emotions, relationships, and life choices.

Robert specialises in supporting people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and major life transitions. He also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, mood disorders, narcissistic dynamics, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety, and workplace challenges. His practice focuses on tailoring the therapeutic work to each person’s unique story and goals.

He practices with empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental stance, creating a space where clients can explore feelings and challenges at their own pace. Robert holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He offers services in English and Persian and works collaboratively with clients to support healing, growth, and clearer direction in life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Robert commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and supports living a values-guided life; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions; it is helpful for building self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and shifts unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robert works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate techniques from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy with Robert is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose what fits their schedule and comfort. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions while accessing support from a licensed professional without traveling to appointments.
