Roselyn Robertson, BACP

Roselyn Robertson is a Masters-qualified counsellor who brings a blend of clinical training and long-term social care experience to her therapeutic work. She has spent 19 years working with individuals and families in the social care sector and has practised as a counsellor for the past 4 years, offering support for concerns such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, loss, shame and abandonment, as well as relationship, family and parenting challenges. Her practice also addresses issues including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related struggles, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career concerns, depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Roselyn focuses on helping people explore their strengths and develop practical strategies that support resilience and a stronger sense of self. She aims to use those strengths as a springboard toward a more fulfilling life defined by the client’s priorities. Compassion and nonjudgemental listening are central to her approach, with particular attention to individual identity and cultural context.

Her work is informed by evidence-based research and professional frameworks, including the Equality Act 2010 and the ethical guidance of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Roselyn tailors conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs of each person she works with. She recognises that taking the first step can be difficult and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy, offering supportive guidance from the outset.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Roselyn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical steps for living in line with those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and situations where avoidance is limiting daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus, exploring early relationship patterns and how they influence current attachments and close relationships - this can help with intimacy issues, trust, abandonment concerns and family dynamics. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her approach by prioritising the person’s perspective, offering empathic listening and collaboration to strengthen self-understanding and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roselyn works collaboratively with each person and with registered professionals when needed to identify which methods fit the client’s goals, needs and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Roselyn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work guided by a trained therapist.
