About Roisin

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons works on anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges and a wide range of family and relationship concerns using creative and expressive methods alongside CBT- and DBT-informed techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of experience.

Roisin draws on play, art and expressive activities to help people, especially where direct conversation can feel difficult. She also uses practical thinking tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and skills from dialectical-behavioural frameworks to help with emotional regulation and coping. Sessions are adjusted to the client’s pace and needs, with a focus on creating clear steps to manage daily pressures.

Her practice includes work around parenting stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and the effects of domestic violence and separation. She also supports concerns linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, as well as gender dysphoria and LGBT matters. Roisin addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, depression and ADHD-related challenges.

She helps people deal with practical family problems like blended family tensions, communication breakdowns, caregiver stress and forgiveness. Work can involve exploring body image, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and feelings of emptiness after loss or major life changes. The approach balances creative expression with concrete skills to manage symptoms.

Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Roisin uses therapeutic methods in remote sessions

Roisin combines creative, expressive work with cognitive and behavioural skills to help people cope. Play and expressive methods use drawing, storytelling or simple activities to make it easier to show feelings that can be hard to say, which can be helpful for those who find direct speech difficult or for addressing attachment concerns.

Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical alternatives. These methods aim to reduce anxious or depressive moods by introducing small, manageable changes in thinking and behaviour. DBT-informed skills include emotion regulation and distress tolerance exercises to manage strong feelings and reduce reactive behaviour.

Choosing a suitable approach is part of the work. The counsellor will work with the client to agree which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences, adapting the mix over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, or use less bandwidth if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can offer comparable therapeutic work remotely, and Roisin accepts international clients; check the available formats when you arrange a first session.
