About Frederick
Frederick Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help adults and young adults manage stress, anxiety and life changes. He uses a calm, respectful manner to support people dealing with depression, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem struggles and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and French.
He describes his style as warm and interactive. Conversations are shaped to be straightforward and non-judgemental so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Frederick works to build a trusting space where practical steps and personal meaning can be explored together. Frederick has nine years of experience in mental health work and holds BACP accreditation, which is noted among his professional details. Over that time he has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep or eating problems, and caring responsibilities that cause stress.
His practice draws on Narrative ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based thinking, with elements of cognitive approaches and client-centred care. That mix is adapted to each person so sessions focus on what the client wants to change and what they value in life.
Common themes he addresses include coping with bereavement, navigating commitment and communication problems, recovery from abuse, and managing mood or bipolar symptoms. Frederick encourages small, practical steps and clearer perspectives so people can feel steadier day to day.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns of thinking, clarify what truly matters to them, and take small committed actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and coping with difficult life changes.Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. Rewriting those stories can reduce shame and open possibilities for new ways of acting in relationships and work.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion regulation, which can be helpful for people who struggle with trust, closeness or recurring conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frederick will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, preferences and everyday demands. He adapts sessions as progress unfolds so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can suit lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in, and messaging works for shorter updates or when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving and travel.
