Fiona aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can speak honestly and feel heard.
Her way of working is collaborative and down-to-earth. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to match the session to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and clear strategies that fit everyday life. Fiona has supported people through trauma, grief, parenting strain, and the challenges of mood and bipolar conditions. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what feels easiest to use. Sessions are held with registered professionals in the United Kingdom and English is used for all work.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers clear, practical techniques for managing low mood, anxiety, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns of thinking.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current reactions and connections. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships, communication problems and feelings of abandonment or isolation.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods together. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and review progress along the way.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
