Robyn Ramsay, BACP

Robyn Ramsay helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, addiction or anger. She also supports people coping with life changes and those navigating ADHD, LGBT concerns, and relationship communication problems. Robyn works in a straightforward, respectful way and treats each person as the expert of their own story.

Robyn has practised since 2021 and holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She uses a mix of practical talking approaches to help people manage symptoms and make manageable changes in daily life. Sessions are plain spoken and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Her work can include helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes to see what works. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and actions, and acceptance-based ideas to help people live alongside difficult feelings while moving towards what matters. Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term, realistic goals.

Robyn also offers a client-centred style when people need space to be heard. That means listening without judgement and shaping sessions around each person’s pace and priorities. She pays attention to issues such as body image, shame and isolation as well as specific concerns like panic attacks, phobias and seasonal mood shifts.

Sessions are available in English and Robyn can work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her approach aims to be practical and collaborative, helping people build small steps that add up to meaningful change.

How Robyn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and adjustment to life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and improve coping. It is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a supportive space so people can find their own solutions in their own time.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods over time. Some people prefer structured, skill-based work and others want more open listening; Robyn aims to match the approach to each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be a good option for brief check-ins or when someone needs shorter, written support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, studies or family commitments and to continue work with a therapist from different locations.
