Robert Jarvis, NCPS

Robert Jarvis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice experience. He originally trained as an integrative counsellor and now works using approaches from third-wave cognitive behavioural models. Robert aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk about difficult emotions and everyday struggles.

His work commonly addresses stress, anxiety and low mood, along with anger and sleeping difficulties. He also helps people cope with life changes and relationship problems, and with issues such as shame, isolation and feelings of abandonment. Robert lists ageing and geriatric issues among his additional areas of focus.

Robert draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and existential ideas to shape sessions. That means he often helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, clarify personal values, and practise small actions that match what matters to them.

Sessions are adapted to each person. He aims to set clear, realistic goals and to use practical strategies you can try between meetings. Conversations are direct but compassionate, and Robert works at a steady, collaborative pace.

Clients who want a counsellor who combines presence with practical tools may find this approach useful. If you are unsure whether this feels like a good fit, Robert encourages an initial conversation to see how you might work together.

How Robert's approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction, even with difficult thoughts or feelings present. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood and life transitions where values and meaningful action are important.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleeping difficulties and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That shared planning helps shape sessions and any homework between meetings.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around life commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow face-to-face style conversations while you remain in your own routine, with tools and exercises adapted for remote sessions.
