Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons, BACP

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons is a Certified Play Therapist licensed in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience supporting children, young people, parents, and families through challenges such as anxiety, stress, trauma, loss, low self-esteem, and attachment difficulties. She combines creative and expressive methods with structured, evidence-informed techniques to help clients explore underlying patterns and develop practical coping strategies.

Her practice draws on play-based work that creates a safe, engaging space for children to communicate and process emotions, alongside CBT- and DBT-informed approaches that teach skills for managing thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Each session is tailored to the individual - paced to suit the client and focused on building skills that support emotional wellbeing and day-to-day functioning.

Roisin’s work is grounded in compassion and understanding, particularly when supporting people affected by trauma or attachment issues. She aims to offer a warm, collaborative atmosphere where families and individuals can feel heard and empowered to make lasting change. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides professional support to clients in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Roisin integrates play-based therapy with CBT- and DBT-informed techniques to meet a range of needs. Play therapy uses creative, developmentally appropriate activities to help children express feelings and process experiences when words are hard to find. CBT-informed practice focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. DBT-informed strategies teach practical emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roisin works with clients and families to understand individual goals, preferences, and needs, and will adapt techniques over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online appointments - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy families and people living in different locations. These options make it easier to access consistent support, fit sessions around daily commitments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
