Fiona has helped me a lot navigating my anxiety at the workplace as a neurodivergent. It was an eye opener going through the sessions with her. I felt very much seen and heard - she knew exactly what I was going through and helped me understand myself better. She’s also very respectful and understanding of my background and culture that may be different from others. Highly recommend!

Fiona was a great help for me on kick starting my healing journey. She is warm, considerate and patient. At times she simply listened because that’s what I needed but she also shared multiple resources to help me to cope with my situation.
She emphasises learning to heal yourself, she is there to guide and support you through the process, this showed me that she truly cared for me as a patient and is looking out for my best interest.
Before starting therapy my concern was being matched with a therapist who is a good fit for me and she ended up being the perfect match. I recommend her highly specifically if you need help with dealing with emotional trauma and relationship issues.

Fiona is the first therapist I’ve worked with who immediately made me feel comfortable and understand what my problem was. She’s incredible at reading subtle/non verbal cues and can pinpoint what I was thinking/feeling even when I struggled. She helped guide my journey when needed and encouraged me to step up and control my journey at the same time. She’s incredibly intuitive and perfect for her role as a therapist. I would recommend her to anyone

I am satisfied with Fiona’s help, she has been so incredibly helpful in times of need. She has a way of listening and pinning down exactly what I’m trying to convey. I feel safe with her and she does not coddle me, rather gently encouraging to grow. Thank you Fiona!

A therapist you can trust and be yourself around, I love her warm presence. I can calmly express my needs and struggles with her, knowing she cares and will present methods catered to them when she sees fit. I’ve become more aware of my emotions, needs, with growing resilience and confidence in myself with less than a year with her. Please treat her well. I’ll miss her for sure

In sessions with Fiona I feel heard. There is no better feeling in the world. She asks that I challenge her if I ever feel like she missed a point and there has not been a time that that has happened.
I trust her professionalism and her methods. I look forward to continuing sessions with her.

She’s a lovely person to talk to and even with no motivation left, my sessions with her manage to help me de stress and work on myself
Written on Jun 03, 2024 after therapy with Fiona for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and adhd
Fiona is a great therapist! She listens carefully and manages to hear beyond words and to see through facades. She somehow manages to feel my energy and spot exactly what's going on, even if I don't know it. And if she doesn't from the first few sentences I say, then asks the questions that flip my mind around and we both start seeing what it is.
The main greatness is that once she knows what's going on, she addresses it straight away; names it, validates feelings, and provides relevant help. There were times, especially at the beginning of our work together, when I needed mostly emotional support, and there were also situations that I needed some particular help with and Fiona provided me with tools.
She is a very charming person, who creates a trusting and warm atmosphere from the very first session. And you can also feel she's an experienced professional in every detail of her work - from the way she handles the official parts, to a variety of perspectives and tools she uses to address your situations.
All in all, I feel like I'm in very good hands every time I meet with Fiona.

She is empathetic and resourceful and attentive. She doesn't just stick to one approach and she tailors the session and the treatment to you. She helps you set your goals and be able to leave the session with helpful tools. She sends helpful matrial to see and do. Most of the time, she helps me end my session with good energy which is amazing, especially with what I'm going through. I have nothing but good to say about her. She is definitely the best therapist I've had.

Fiona has helped me immeasurably during my sessions. She has a fantastic way of helping to identify the underlying causes of key issues as well as provide constructive steps to help address them. Her positive, engaging, empathetic and honest manner has made me feel at ease and able to open up.

Fiona has been so supportive and helpful to me, even in the short amount of time I have been having counseling with her. In the sessions I have felt understood and guided - and feel she is very knowledgeable of how to deal with situations. She has given me strategies and worksheets to support me. She is warm and friendly, and she also has made me laugh - which is not something I have been doing much of recently. I would highly recommend her.

Fiona has been fantastic. She really tried to understand and unwrap all my many problems and tackle them one by one. She also is not just passive and listening only, which works for some but is an approach that I do not like. I asked her to give me her opinions and/or possible explanations on my thoughts which is what she has tried to do. I feel very comfortable with her and hope to renew my subscription and book more sessions with her

She is so sweet and caring and makes me feel like I have someone I can rely on for the long term future!

She does an amazing job making me feel like my emotions and thoughts are valid and is here to allow me to explore my emotions and change my thought processes and doesn’t pressure me to feel as if I should feel a certain way. I feel very safe and supported!!!
