Robert Jarvis, NCPS

Robert Jarvis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He has worked mainly in the charity sector and draws on that background when meeting people who are struggling. Robert is listed with the NCPS, which is shown as his credential. Robert began training as an integrative counsellor but now frames his work around third-wave cognitive behavioural models. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and existential ideas to help people manage everyday difficulties. He commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low mood and relationship concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. Robert aims to help people notice what matters to them, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build small routines that make life feel steadier. Conversations are straightforward and tailored to each person’s situation. He also works with issues such as sleep problems, coping with life changes, shame and guilt, and feelings of isolation or jealousy. Robert pays attention to how past losses or attachment patterns can shape current struggles, and he helps people find clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries. People who prefer calm, direct conversation and hands-on strategies may find his approach useful. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and reviewed as things change.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps forward while allowing difficult thoughts and feelings to occur. It can help with anxiety, stress and issues around control. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Existential Therapy encourages people to consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives and can be useful when someone is grappling with life purpose or midlife changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to try practical exercises at home and to keep momentum between meetings, which many people find helpful.
