About Frederick

Frederick Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with adults and young adults. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, self‑esteem issues, addiction concerns and many other life stresses. He also supports those facing attention difficulties, trauma or the challenges that come with ageing and geriatric issues.

He takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions. Frederick aims to create a respectful space where people can talk openly about their thoughts and feelings. He uses plain language and adapts conversations to what matters most to the individual.

His work draws on several practical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client‑Centred ways of working. He blends these with attachment‑based thinking and elements of dialectical behaviour ideas to shape collaborative session plans.

Frederick holds BACP accreditation, which is shown here as BACP. He has around nine years of professional experience working with adults and young adults on a wide range of concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and French and he welcomes international clients.

People typically begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time to meet. Frederick encourages small, steady steps and focuses on practical ways to make day‑to‑day life feel more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical activities. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating and coping.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods and set achievable steps to work on between sessions.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, such as shorter check‑ins at a convenient time, avoiding travel, or meeting from a quieter spot on the day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
