About Frederick
Frederick Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with adults and young adults. He focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, stress and low mood, and also helps with relationship strain, ADHD-related difficulties, addictions and sleep or eating concerns. Frederick speaks English, Spanish and French which can help when language matters for a session.
He has nine years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions are intended to be warm and respectful, with space to talk about what is most pressing. Frederick uses a mix of approaches so sessions are tailored to each person.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and behaviours, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on values and coping, plus client-centred and attachment-informed ideas to make conversations feel safe and person-focused. In practice he aims to set clear goals and try techniques you can use between sessions.
Work may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small behaviour changes, or building skills for stronger emotional regulation. People who come to him often want straightforward help with practical problems and coping strategies. Frederick encourages honest talk about what is working and what needs to change, and he adjusts the plan as you move forward.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where avoidance has taken over. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioural experiments to change mood and outcomes; it often helps with anxiety, panic, sleep and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotion regulation, which can help with trust issues and relationship distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frederick will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful and adapt plans over time. That collaboration means therapy is shaped around your goals and preferences rather than a fixed recipe.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversations and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between calls. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping continuity of care across locations.
