Roselyn Robertson, BACP

Roselyn Robertson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She works with those coping with grief, trauma, parenting pressures and changes linked to ageing. Roselyn writes in a direct, compassionate way and focuses on practical steps that make everyday life easier.

Roselyn brings four years of counselling practice to her work and nearly two decades of experience in the social care sector before that. She uses proven approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, building resilience and developing simple strategies for better day-to-day functioning.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to listen carefully to personal identity and cultural background and to adapt conversations to each person’s needs. Practical goal-setting and skills practice are used alongside emotional reflection to help clients move forward.

Roselyn follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and works with relevant British legislation including the Equality Act 2010. Her plans are tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. She offers support for issues across the lifespan, including ageing and geriatric concerns.

Starting therapy with Roselyn involves simple steps: she will look at what matters to you, agree clear goals, and check what strategies fit your life. She encourages people to focus on small, manageable changes that add up over time.

How Roselyn's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people to understand and express emotional needs more clearly, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Roselyn will listen to your concerns, discuss possible approaches and agree on what to try first. Together you will check what feels most useful and adjust the plan as your needs evolve, so the process is collaborative rather than fixed.

The original profile did not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow quicker follow-ups between meetings. Some approaches work well with short practical exercises between sessions, while others use slightly longer conversations to process feelings. Ask about the format that best suits your schedule and preferences when you arrange your first appointment.
