Robert Backai, BACP

Robert Backai is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, and with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems.

Robert uses clear, practical methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes. He invites clients to set simple goals and to try small steps between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what would make life feel more manageable.

In session he aims to be respectful and compassionate. He listens for what matters most to each person and adapts his approach to suit individual needs. The work is collaborative, with the client’s goals guiding the pace and focus.

With six years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP, Robert brings steady support to difficult moments. He encourages people to notice progress, however small, and to build practical routines that help day-to-day coping.

People often come to him for help with grief, addiction, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with chronic pain, body image, and issues linked to sexual expression. He asks clients to choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How Robert uses CBT, solution-focused and trauma work online

Robert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes in behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, achievable steps and to build on what already works for a person. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilising reactions and developing coping strategies after distressing events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together decide which methods to try. That choice can change over time as needs and progress become clearer.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce time spent travelling and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing therapy during periods of limited mobility or when someone needs flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and grounding techniques to work well in remote sessions.
