Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read through my profile.
I am qualified in psychotherapeutic counselling to post graduate level PG(DIP) BA(HONS) and licensed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) in the UK; with over 7 years of experience working as a therapist, in the psychological therapies department of a hospice, a wellbeing clinic and in private practice. I help people who are experiencing all kinds of difficulties including relationship problems, the impact of trauma, domestic abuse, anxiety and self-doubt, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues.
Working alongside my clients I aim to create a confidential, open, understanding and safe space, where complicated thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take much courage and energy and I would like to make the process as comfortable and effective as possible for you.
My therapeutic approach is integrative; I work from a person centered base, integrating elements of different therapeutic resources, including attachment theory, trauma informed practice, mindfulness, cbt, creative arts and the outdoor environment.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I work in accordance with the Ethical Framework and have regular supervision to ensure best practice. I also enjoy continuing with my professional development and training and I am currently working towards accreditation with the BACP.
Many moons ago I achieved my degree in Fine Art - and my journey as a therapist began when I was working as a participatory artist with groups of people in community, education and health settings. Often during workshops, as participants accessed their creative flow, they would also feel comfortable and safe enough to share their, often difficult, thoughts and feelings, and it became my goal to respond and support in the best possible way. I also experienced counselling for myself, and felt that it was a revelation to be listened to, without judgement, and be heard with genuine compassion, understanding and empathy by my therapist; all of this inspired me to study and train to be a therapist myself.
My belief and experience is that therapy gives us the opportunity to unravel and make sense of confusing and complicated thoughts and feelings - this creates a positive impact on our emotional, physical and spiritual well being and allows us to move forward in our lives with increased reslience, awareness, self-care and emotional regulation.
In addition to my private therapy practice I am employed by a national UK charity to deliver therapeutic and psychoeducational groupwork with people who have experienced domestic abuse.
When I am away from work I enjoy spending time with family and friends and love to walk in beautiful places with my adopted rescue greyhound.
You are very welcome to get in touch and I look forward to us working together. I offer video, telephone and text sessions.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Fiona is a great listener, very compassionate and helps you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings whilst giving you the tools and skills to go forward. Fiona makes you feel heard by checking up on you with messages at times and remembering what you have said in past sessions. What I really felt valuable was that Fiona encouraged me to think of and adopt coping mechanisms with practical skills that allow me to move forward in life. I am very happy I started therapy with Fiona and feel a positive change in myself, I feel that with the skills Fiona has given me I can tackle those bad days as just that, a bad day, without letting them consume me.
