About Frederick
Frederick Roberts welcomes adults and young adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to start. He writes in a direct, caring way and aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth for someone reading on their phone. He focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
He also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges around parenting or career.
How Frederick works
He works with LGBT clients and those with ADHD or bipolar as part of a broad practice. Frederick uses a mix of well-known counselling approaches to suit each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment work alongside client-centred and dialectical techniques.
Sessions are shaped around what the client says is most important. He has nine years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs his practical, respectful way of working.
Conversations are paced to each person, with tools and ideas offered when helpful. People who choose him can expect warm, interactive sessions where thoughts and feelings are talked through without judgement. He encourages small, manageable steps and stays focused on realistic goals.
When someone is ready to begin, he supports them through the early steps of change.

Online support options
Therapy approaches that work online and in conversation
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without struggling with them so much. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and feeling, and it can help people rebuild more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things evolve, so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and life commitments while using familiar therapeutic tools.
