Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons, BACP

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, mood disorders and relationship strain. She also supports concerns linked to ADHD and identity issues such as gender dysphoria and LGBT matters.

Roisin is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience in the United Kingdom. She uses creative and expressive ways of working alongside evidence-based techniques to make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are adjusted to the person's pace and what feels most helpful in the moment.

Her approach blends practical skills with room to reflect. That can mean learning calming strategies, trying small behavioural changes, or using creative activities to access feelings that are hard to name. She explains ideas plainly and helps people practise tools between sessions.

Roisin aims to create an open and compassionate space. She focuses on building understanding around attachment, abandonment and family patterns. Conversations can cover communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family issues and recovery after domestic violence or separation.

Clients who want support with body image, eating or gender questions can work on clearer self-understanding and steady routines. For those facing life transitions or persistent emptiness, Roisin helps explore next steps and coping strategies. The tone is collaborative and practical, with a focus on small, achievable change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Roisin uses a mix of creative, expressive methods and evidence-based techniques. Creative approaches might include drawing, storytelling or other expressive activities adapted for online use to help access feelings that are hard to say out loud. These methods can be useful for working through attachment themes, abandonment and emotional expression.

She also uses CBT-informed techniques that focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes. This approach helps with anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep and eating patterns by teaching simple, repeatable tools. Where helpful, DBT-informed ideas are used to develop emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for times of strong feeling.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Roisin will talk through options and decide with each person which techniques suit their goals, comfort and day-to-day life. She adapts tasks and activities to match a person's pace and preferences.

Online therapy makes that flexibility easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual activities. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, reflective writing and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel.
