Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons , BACP

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons is a Certified Play Therapist and a member of the BACP with eight years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports children, young people, and parents or whole families through challenges such as anxiety, stress, trauma, loss, low self-esteem, attachment difficulties, and relationship problems. As a Certified Play Therapist she uses play and creative activities to help younger clients express feelings and make sense of difficult experiences, and as a BACP member she follows recognised professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy.

Roisin combines creative and expressive methods with approaches informed by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). She uses these techniques to help clients explore what lies beneath surface reactions, identify patterns of thinking and behaviour, and develop practical tools to support emotional wellbeing. Each session is personalised to the client’s needs and pace, allowing time for reflection, experimentation, and gradual change.

Her practice is grounded in compassion and an understanding of how trauma and attachment issues can affect relationships and daily life. Roisin aims to provide a warm, collaborative space where clients and families feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Roisin brings together play-based work and techniques informed by CBT and DBT to support emotional growth and coping. Play-based therapy uses creative activities, storytelling, and symbolic play to help children and young people express feelings they may not have words for and to process difficult experiences in a developmentally appropriate way. CBT-informed techniques help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. DBT-informed skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for relationships and intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roisin works with clients and families to understand needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods and pacing so that therapy feels manageable and relevant. Together they explore what works best and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Roisin can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, school, or wherever clients feel most able to engage, while allowing therapists and clients to maintain continuity and adapt sessions to individual circumstances.
