About me

I am a qualified counsellor in the UK with over three years of experience in client work, most recently in private practice. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & depression. Life throws many challenges our way and my goal is to offer support and to help you find your own way through these, often by encouraging you to see yourself and your situation in new ways. I will tailor our work together to meet your unique and specific needs. I will always take things at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you. It’s your therapy and we can work together to find the ways it works best for you. It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Caring and understanding

Written on Mar 22, 2024 after therapy with Fiona for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self esteem, and anger management

Fiona has been a gentle and supportive help, offering a safe and unbiased space for me to talk and talk openly without the worry of burdening friends or family. I’ve felt comfortable enough to share with her sides or myself that I’m not proud of and she has helped me to work through some real self shame with an open mind, and analytical approach,
I’d highly recommend Fiona

Is an excellent therapist who really actively listens and strives to help me find my own solutions

Fiona has been amazing, she asks questions in a way that makes me think and gain different perspectives, she's been supportive but also allowing me to draw conclusions on my own. She has helped to provide calm amongst the chaos at a very trying time in my life and I couldn't be more grateful.

Fiona has, in a short time, helped me realise some of the main reasons that I’m so unhappy and desperate at times and given me hope I might actually be able to finally change it. I know it will take time and effort but already I do feel like I’m making positive inroads towards feeling better because of her support, advice and help. Fiona is patient, focused and understands what I’m saying even when I don’t really understand it myself! She doesn’t make me feel stupid or minimise my feelings. I would highly recommend Fiona and look forward to working through my issues more with her guidance. The session each week is a non-negotiable for me now as I know it is having a positive effect on my life.

Fiona immediately helped me feel much more settled and understood during a difficult time. I really felt supported and can't thank her enough for her wisdom in helping me to navigate through the issues. Wonderful.
