About Frederick

Frederick Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with adults and young adults. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma, low self-esteem, ADHD and addiction-related difficulties.

He draws on nine years of professional experience and practises in English, Spanish and French. He is registered with the BACP, which is shown as his credential. Frederick aims to make sessions warm and interactive so people feel heard and respected.

In sessions he focuses on honest conversation and practical steps. He tailors discussion and tasks to each person’s situation and goals. The emphasis is on building skills that help with everyday challenges like sleep, anger, concentration and motivation.

His approach combines several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred work, along with Attachment-based and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy influences. He adapts the mix to fit what a person needs rather than using one fixed method.

Frederick works with a wide range of life issues listed in his profile, including family and parenting concerns, bereavement, body image, career transition and compassion fatigue. He encourages small, achievable steps and focuses on what helps people function better day to day.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like worry, sleep problems and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, giving space to be heard and to explore what matters most to them.

Finding the best approach is part of the work itself. Frederick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from different approaches and adjusting the pace as needs change.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to attend from different locations and to fit sessions into a busy week. It also allows shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when a full video appointment is difficult, and can help people continue progress when travel or scheduling is a barrier. Registered or accredited professionals often use these flexible arrangements to keep therapy practical and manageable for everyday life.
