Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons, BACP

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression, ADHD and major life changes. Her work includes concerns related to LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, attachment and abandonment, and a range of family and communication problems.

Roisin draws on creative, expressive ways of working alongside ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, understanding what lies beneath difficult feelings, and practising practical skills that can be used between meetings. She adapts the pace and methods to each person’s needs, allowing space for reflection and steady change.

Her practice is informed by eight years of experience and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is used here to describe her professional standing.

People who come to Roisin can expect a warm, collaborative atmosphere. She aims to listen carefully and help people build tools for coping and resilience. Therapy sessions are shaped around what the individual wants to work on and how quickly they want to move.

Clients often focus on repairing relationships, managing strong emotions, or finding ways to cope after loss and trauma. Roisin also works with specific issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, blended family difficulties and body image concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Roisin combines creative, expressive techniques with ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. Creative approaches can involve using art, storytelling or simple activities to help people notice feelings and communicate difficult experiences without relying only on words. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with manageable experiments, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Dialectical behaviour ideas offer practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Roisin will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps find practical tools that feel useful and realistic for daily life.

If you are planning online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer to work from their own surroundings or who need flexibility around work and family commitments.
