About Roisin
Counsellor and BACP member Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons has eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, LGBT issues, relationship difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and depression, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Roisin uses a mix of creative and expressive methods alongside techniques informed by CBT and DBT. Sessions aim to unpick patterns, identify what lies beneath difficult feelings and develop practical skills for day-to-day coping. She adapts pace and methods to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Her background includes play-based work and practice with children and parents. That experience shapes how she brings creativity into sessions when it helps, and how she explains strategies to carers and family members. She combines activities with talking therapy where appropriate.
Roisin describes her approach as collaborative. She works with people to set realistic steps and to practise new ways of managing strong emotions. The focus is often on short-term techniques alongside longer-term changes in relationships and routines.
She works in English and is able to take international clients. Practical matters such as costs and session booking use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Roisin combines creative and expressive approaches with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy. Creative methods can include play or expressive activities that make feelings easier to talk about and can help uncover patterns in behaviour and relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on recognising unhelpful thoughts and trying practical steps to change routines, mood or reactions.She also uses ideas informed by dialectical behaviour therapy, which offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These skills can be useful for people struggling with anger, relationship problems, self-esteem or mood instability.
Finding the right mix is part of the work together. Roisin will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree what helps most. The client and counsellor decide together which methods to use and how to pace sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit around work, childcare or travel. Online work can make it easier to join from different locations, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce time spent travelling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and skill practice for remote sessions to keep progress moving.
