About Fiona
Fiona Waddle is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings seven years of practice across hospice, wellbeing clinic and personal settings. Fiona offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make it easier to start therapy when life feels hard.
She helps people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges and major life changes. Fiona also supports concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems.
Background and approach
She works with matters including divorce, domestic violence, eating issues, guilt and shame. Fiona’s work begins from a person-centred base. That means she prioritises listening and understanding, and follows the person in front of her rather than imposing a fixed plan.
She blends mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help with practical coping and clearer thinking. When trauma is part of the story she draws on trauma-focused methods alongside calmer, present-moment approaches. Sessions often include grounding, exploring patterns in relationships, and setting short steps to try between appointments.
Fiona also runs therapeutic and psychoeducational groups for people affected by domestic abuse with a national UK charity. She keeps her practice guided by the BACP Ethical Framework and receives ongoing supervision. Fiona’s route into counselling began in the arts and community work, and she brings that collaborative, down-to-earth outlook into sessions.
Outside work she enjoys walking with her adopted rescue greyhound and spending time with family and friends.

Approaches Fiona lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, grief and stress and can be practised in short exercises during a video call or between sessions.
Solution-focused work is part of her offering and concentrates on small, achievable changes. This approach is helpful when someone wants clear, short-term goals and tools to try between appointments.
Choosing the right mix of approaches happens together. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before developing a flexible plan. The therapist and client review progress and adapt the work as needed so it stays practical and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when hands-free is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility for different rhythms and practical needs.
