Roisin Mcgrath
Practical support for stress, anxiety and life change
About Roisin
Roisin Mcgrath is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and an NCPS credential. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Roisin aims to help clients build confidence, regain motivation and find clearer direction in their career or personal life.
She works from the view that each person knows their own story. Roisin helps people use their own strengths to tackle difficult problems.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around what a person wants to change and small, manageable steps to get there. Roisin uses straightforward therapy styles to help with everyday struggles. She draws on client-centred methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
These approaches are chosen to fit each person’s needs rather than as fixed rules. In practical terms Roisin supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, family pressures, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, addictions and compassion fatigue. She also helps with life transitions and coping with change.
The focus is on reducing immediate distress and building lasting skills. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Roisin encourages questions and checks progress regularly so goals stay relevant and realistic.
This method helps people feel more able to manage challenges between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions allow the counsellor to hear concerns and mirror what matters most to the client, helping them clarify choices and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In remote sessions this often involves short exercises, homework tasks and targeted problem-solving to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Roisin will collaborate with each person to decide what suits their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress is made so the plan stays relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be a lower-tech option, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices offer flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings, and varying comfort with being on camera.
