Robyn Ramsay, BACP

Robyn Ramsay is a CBT therapist based in Scotland who has provided therapy since 2021. She works with people experiencing stress and anxiety, difficulties with motivation, low self-esteem and confidence, depression, and compassion fatigue. Robyn approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on the strengths they already have to face the challenges they bring to therapy.

Robyn holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy. She recognises that taking the first step to seek therapy requires courage and offers a supportive, respectful environment to explore change and growth. Robyn aims to help clients identify practical steps forward while validating the experience of having taken that initial step toward a different chapter in life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and to focus on what matters most to them. It is often used when people want to build resilience around persistent anxiety, low mood, or motivation struggles.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and then test and adjust unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and confidence-related difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathic listening and a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, giving space for a person to explore their experiences at their own pace; this approach can support self-esteem and personal insight.

Robyn treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to select or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a single model.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility. These formats can make regular sessions easier to attend around work, caregiving, or geographical constraints, and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different locations.
