Robert Jarvis, NCPS

Robert Jarvis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He began his training as an integrative counsellor and now works mainly with approaches from third-wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Robert aims to offer respectful and compassionate support for people facing difficult life moments.

Robert has worked largely in the charity sector, helping people deal with anger, stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those coping with life changes, sleep difficulties and trauma and abuse. His practice attends to both short-term worries and longer standing patterns that make daily life harder.

In sessions he focuses on what matters to the person sitting in front of him. He helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and then commits to small actions that match their values. Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are combined with conversations about meaning and choice when that is helpful.

People who find his way of working useful often want a direct, plainspoken approach. He adapts the pace and tasks to each person’s needs. The aim is to build skills that can be used between sessions, not just to talk about problems.

Robert holds NCPS as a credential. If you are thinking about starting, check the profile details and the booking steps before scheduling so you know how to match with him.

How ACT, CBT and existential work translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with mood, sleep and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps. Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility and can be helpful when people feel stuck about life purpose or big changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Session formats are not specified on the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people combine practical exercises at home with reflective conversation, making it simpler to practise new skills between sessions.
