Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons, BACP

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons is a Certified Play Therapist and a BACP-registered practitioner with eight years of experience supporting children, young people and their families through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with anxiety, stress, trauma and loss, low self-esteem, attachment difficulties and relationship problems, drawing on approaches suited to each person’s age and needs.

Her practice blends creative and expressive methods with CBT- and DBT-informed techniques, helping clients to explore underlying patterns, make connections and build practical skills for everyday wellbeing. Sessions are shaped around individual pace and preferences, whether that means more play-based work with younger clients or skills-based conversations with adolescents and adults.

Grounded in compassion and an understanding of the lasting effects of trauma and attachment disruption, she aims to create a warm and collaborative space where people feel heard and supported. Roisin works with parents and caregivers as well as young people, offering tools and strategies to improve communication, manage difficult emotions and foster healthier relationships. She accepts international clients and practises from the United Kingdom, offering flexible options to suit different circumstances.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Roisin combines play-based and expressive methods with evidence-informed cognitive and skills-based approaches to meet different needs. Play therapy uses age-appropriate activities and creative expression to help children communicate feelings and work through difficult experiences in ways that feel natural to them, often helping with anxiety, attachment issues and behavioural concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, presented in accessible steps, helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop more balanced ways of thinking and coping, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. DBT-informed techniques focus on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Roisin works collaboratively with each person or family to tailor methods to their goals, preferences and pace. Together they explore what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds to create a supportive path toward practical change.

Online therapy with Roisin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from the United Kingdom or abroad, reduce travel time and allow sessions to fit into busy family routines while preserving continuity of care.
