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, parents, and families through anxiety, stress, trauma, loss, low self-esteem, attachment difficulties, and relationship problems. She combines creative and expressive work with therapeutic techniques informed by cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients explore underlying patterns, make connections, and discover practical strategies for managing emotions and behaviour.

Roisin adapts each session to the individual’s pace and needs, using play and other expressive methods to create accessible ways for children and young people to communicate and process difficult experiences. As a Certified Play Therapist she is trained to use play-based interventions that are developmentally appropriate and engaging for younger clients and their families.

Her practice is grounded in compassion and an understanding of the impacts of trauma and attachment disruption. She offers a warm, collaborative therapeutic space where clients are supported to reflect, learn new skills, and work toward meaningful change in their relationships and daily life.

Therapeutic Techniques and Online Support

Roisin uses play-based and creative approaches alongside CBT- and DBT-informed techniques to support emotional wellbeing. Play-based work uses games, storytelling, and expressive activities to help children and young people communicate feelings and process experiences in a developmentally appropriate way - it is often helpful for anxiety, attachment concerns, and trauma-related issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical skills to manage mood and stress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. DBT-informed techniques emphasise emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help clients manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Roisin works collaboratively with each client and their family to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, support access for those who live further away, and provide multiple ways to engage depending on comfort and circumstance.
