Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons
Warm, practical therapy for stress and relationship strain
About Roisin
Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She also supports clients facing parenting challenges, eating or sleeping difficulties, mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, ADHD and identity issues including gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Roisin is identified with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Her style is warm and practical. She uses creative and expressive ways to open up difficult topics, then works with people to build simple tools they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Roisin adapts each session to the person's pace so the work moves at a comfortable speed. Her approach draws on evidence-based techniques and incorporates cognitive and skills-based elements to help manage thoughts and emotions. She aims to help people spot patterns, connect what’s happening for them, and practise different ways of coping.
Sessions include reflection, skill-building and step-by-step tasks that feel manageable. Roisin places particular focus on attachment and trauma-related concerns. She creates a supportive space to look at past hurts and current difficulties, and helps people find ways to feel steadier day to day.
The emphasis is on practical change rather than complex theory. People who choose Roisin can expect straightforward communication and a collaborative relationship. She offers forms of online contact as well as talk-based work and will help shape the pace and focus according to what matters most to the individual.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Evidence-based cognitive techniques focus on noticing and challenging unhelpful thoughts and then practising alternative ways of thinking. These techniques help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thought patterns by giving clear steps to try between sessions.Skills-based or behavioural techniques teach practical strategies for managing strong emotions, sleep or anger. These approaches emphasise small, repeatable practices such as breathing, grounding, activity planning and routines that can be used day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for fuller conversations and reading non-verbal cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options give flexibility and allow people to keep continuity of care across different locations and schedules.
