About Robert
Robert Jarvis is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with five years' experience working mainly in the charity sector in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self esteem, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems and coping with life changes. Robert uses practical talking work grounded in approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
He trained initially as an integrative counsellor and now draws heavily on third-wave CBT ideas, especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). That means sessions often look at thoughts and behaviours, and also at values and how people want to live. He will talk through patterns that keep problems going and try small changes that are manageable day to day.
Robert has worked with a wide range of common life difficulties. He also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife concerns and men's issues. He describes these as practical problems to work on rather than fixed labels.
Sessions aim to be direct and straightforward. Robert tends to use short exercises, reflection and practical steps between meetings. He encourages people to try things out between sessions and to review what helps.
People who come to him often want clear, hands-on support for mood, stress and relationship concerns. He works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, follow the site's booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still choose steps that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert will talk with each person about their problems, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to book, please confirm the exact session formats available before you schedule. Many people find online work easier to fit around family, work or study commitments and suitable for shorter check-ins or full sessions depending on need.
