Roisin Mcgrath, NCPS

Roisin Mcgrath is a counsellor with five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and approaches therapy with respect for each person's experience. Roisin believes people are the experts in their own stories and aims to support them as they take steps towards change.

She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and difficulties with motivation. Roisin also helps people facing career challenges, parenting strain, relationship and family pressures, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and compassion fatigue. Her work is practical and rooted in the concerns people bring to sessions.

Roisin uses client-centred methods to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with grounding and managing strong feelings.

In sessions she aims to be supportive and encouraging while helping people identify their strengths. Conversations can include setting small goals, practising new skills and reflecting on what is working. The pace is set by the person seeking help.

People who want a calm, straightforward approach may find her style helpful. She encourages practical steps alongside safe reflection, and works with each person to find ways forward that fit their life and values.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and supported while they explore their goals and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours for issues like anxiety, low mood and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to help manage strong emotions and increase present-moment focus. This can be useful for grounding and reducing reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. Therapy can combine elements from different approaches when that suits the individual.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make shorter or more frequent check-ins possible when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the session style to what works best for each person.
