Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons, BACP

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain and carer stress. She also helps with relationship worries, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and attention difference concerns like ADHD. Roisin works with issues related to attachment, abandonment and identity, including gender dysphoria and LGBT topics.

She uses creative and expressive methods alongside approaches informed by cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical ideas. Sessions are adapted to each person’s pace and way of communicating. That means practical tools and short exercises can sit alongside more playful or expressive activities when they suit the individual.

Roisin’s work aims to help people connect what’s happening beneath their reactions. She focuses on spotting patterns, building small coping strategies, and trying things out in session. People can expect a warm, collaborative space where they talk through difficulties and plan manageable steps forward.

With eight years of experience, Roisin brings that background into sessions without assuming one path fits everyone. She pays attention to attachment and trauma-related concerns and shapes the work to match what each person needs at that time.

Based in the United Kingdom, Roisin is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted, so people living outside the UK can enquire about working together.

How Roisin’s approaches work online

Roisin uses creative and expressive methods that let people use drawing, storytelling or other activities to show feelings that can be hard to name. These techniques can help when someone finds it easier to show than to talk, or when working through painful memories and attachment issues.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes. This often involves breaking a problem into steps, practising simple coping skills, and reviewing what helps in daily life. Dialectical-informed ideas are used too, focusing on balancing acceptance of difficult feelings with learning new ways to respond to them.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the person and choose what fits their goals, preferences and circumstances. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.

Practical benefits of doing therapy online include fitting sessions into a busy routine and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins or maintain continuity when life gets busy. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options should be checked with the therapist.
