Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons , BACP

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons is a Certified Play Therapist licensed in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience supporting children, young people, and parents through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with issues such as anxiety, stress, trauma, loss, low self-esteem, attachment difficulties, and relationship problems, tailoring her approach to the developmental needs of each client.

Roisin blends creative and expressive play-based methods with skills informed by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients explore underlying patterns, make meaningful connections, and develop practical tools for emotional wellbeing. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a structured yet flexible style to sessions.

Each meeting is adapted to the individual’s pace and circumstances, creating space for reflection, learning, and steady progress. Her practice is grounded in compassion and an understanding of trauma and attachment issues, offering a warm, collaborative environment where children and families can feel heard and empowered to work toward lasting change.

Bringing Play and Skills-Based Therapy to Online Sessions

Play therapy uses creative, expressive activities to help children and young people communicate feelings and process experiences that can be hard to put into words. This approach supports emotional development, attachment work, and recovery after loss or trauma.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep difficulties. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal communication, which can be especially useful for those struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Roisin will work collaboratively with each person and family to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions evolve as progress is made and different techniques are introduced.

Online therapy with Roisin can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier for families and individuals to access consistent support without long travel times, while maintaining the same evidence-informed approaches used in face-to-face work.
