Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship issues and the practical strains of coping with life changes. Roisin also addresses concerns such as sleep and eating problems, self-esteem struggles, ADHD and mood conditions like depression and bipolar. Her work includes additional focus on divorce and separation, attachment and abandonment issues, and matters related to gender and identity.

Roisin uses creative and expressive methods alongside approaches informed by cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. Sessions are shaped to each person’s pace and needs, with activities that help make feelings easier to name and manage. She aims to help people connect patterns in their lives and develop simple, practical tools to handle difficult moments.

People can expect a warm, collaborative tone in sessions. Roisin writes that her practice is grounded in compassion and an effort to understand what lies behind difficult behaviours or emotions. She works to create space for reflection and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background centres on work with children, young people and parents, applying play-based and expressive techniques when appropriate. Roisin combines creative practice with CBT- and DBT-informed ideas to support emotional wellbeing and problem solving.

She offers help to people across a wide range of concerns and tailors each meeting to the individual’s goals and speed of change.

How Roisin’s approaches translate to online work

Roisin combines creative, expressive techniques with methods informed by cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. Creative and expressive work uses art, play and storytelling to help people describe feelings and try out new ways of coping; this can be useful for processing loss, attachment worries and emotional dysregulation. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behaviour therapy informed techniques teach specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving calm, focus and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, life situation and preferences, then try out methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and maintaining continuity when travel or time is limited. Online meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, arrange sessions during a work break or use quieter surroundings without a long commute. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
