Frederick Roberts
Practical, compassionate support for daily struggles
About Frederick
Frederick Roberts offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. He works with adults to manage mood problems, relationship strains, addiction concerns, grief and parenting stress. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and French and he accepts international clients.
He uses clear, plain language in sessions and focuses on what will help in everyday life. Frederick combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
Background and approach
This mix lets him tailor sessions to a person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. Clients can expect a warm and interactive style that emphasises respect and sensitivity. Conversations aim to uncover patterns that cause distress and to develop practical steps for change.
He also pays attention to difficult past experiences like trauma and abuse and how they affect current feelings and behaviour. Over nine years of practice have given him experience with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with career stress, caregiving strain and issues around adoption or abandonment.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session to suit their needs.

How Frederick uses different approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how these patterns affect current connections and emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frederick will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer therapy sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while still using evidence-informed approaches and registered or accredited professionals.
