About Robert
Robert Backai is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He draws on six years of experience and a BACP registration to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. He also works with issues around intimacy, relationships and sexual concerns.
Robert keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He helps people spot patterns that keep problems going and then tries out small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative - he listens, offers reflections and suggests tools people can use between meetings. He also supports people dealing with addictions, sleeping or eating difficulties, low self-esteem and anger. Additional areas of focus include chronic illness and pain, ageing and geriatric concerns, fatherhood and communication problems.
He has experience with concerns related to LGBT identities and HIV/AIDS. Robert uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person. He explains methods clearly and adapts them to what the person needs right now.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are available in a range of online formats. Robert encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and supports them as they find a better balance in day-to-day life.

Approaches Robert lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which method or combination suits their goals, needs and pace. That choice can be adjusted as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in during busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and return to conversations at their own pace. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while accessing registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
