About Robert
Robert Backai is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns as well as some sexual difficulties.
He follows straightforward, talk-based approaches and tailors sessions to what each person needs. He uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people make practical changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps rather than abstract theory.

He also offers support around issues such as body image, chronic illness, fatherhood challenges and first responder stress. He describes his work as respectful, sensitive and compassionate.
Robert is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He conducts work in English and practices in the UK. He does not accept international clients at this time.
If you are thinking about starting, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs may vary by location and therapist availability.
Approaches used in online psychotherapeutic work
Robert uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and problem-solving around daily routines and habits.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on practical goals and small changes that build momentum. This approach suits people who want short-term, action-orientated work.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to cause distress. This approach aims to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and improve coping with triggers in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. This means checking what feels helpful and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
If you plan to try online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking as those details are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered and accredited professionals can tailor online work so it fits practical needs without changing the therapeutic aims.
