Frederick Roberts, BACP

Frederick Roberts helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or life changes. He works with adults and young adults who want practical ways to manage stress, sleep better, or improve self‑esteem. Frederick speaks English, Spanish and French and practises in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP, which is shown as his professional credential. He has nine years of experience supporting people with a broad range of issues. That includes depression, bipolar, addiction concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and grief. He also addresses matters such as body image, career stress, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be warm and interactive. Frederick uses person-centred listening so people can speak openly and be heard. He combines that with evidence-based techniques to build skills for coping with difficult thoughts and emotions. His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and attachment-informed ways of understanding relationships. He tailors conversations and exercises to each person’s goals rather than following a fixed script. Beginning therapy is described as a step-by-step process. Frederick focuses on short, practical steps early on, then broadens the work as people feel more confident. He invites a collaborative approach where goals and methods are reviewed together as therapy progresses.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful daily routine. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early life and how they affect current connections, which can help when trust or closeness feels difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frederick works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, preferences and pace. He will discuss options and adjust the plan as sessions progress so the work feels helpful and manageable.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins, and remove the need to travel. Many people find remote sessions helpful for practising skills between meetings and keeping continuity when schedules change. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you through which approach and session rhythm will suit your situation.
