About Robert
Robert Jarvis is a UK-based counsellor with five years of practice, mostly in the charity sector. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Robert focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or low mood.
He uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with existential ideas about meaning and choice. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Robert helps clients notice patterns, try small changes and weigh what matters most to them.
How Robert works
Common concerns he addresses include relationship strain, trouble sleeping, coping with life changes, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also works with issues such as self-esteem, isolation, guilt and shame, and difficulties with control or impulsivity. Work can include practical strategies and reflective conversation depending on what a person needs.
Robert trained initially as an integrative counsellor and now draws more on third-wave CBT models, especially ACT. His NCPS credential is listed as part of his background. The emphasis is on respect, sensitivity and tailoring sessions to each person’s goals.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Robert does not currently take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and improve mood or sleep. Existential therapy invites people to consider questions about purpose, choice and responsibility, helping when life changes or midlife concerns feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals, preferences and day‑to‑day life. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy with Robert uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is good for a full session with face-to-face interaction, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging can let people keep in touch between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while still accessing registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
