About Fiona
Fiona Wetherell is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience. She introduces herself warmly and aims to make the first step easier for people who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people find practical next steps.
Her background includes working at a rape crisis centre and in women’s refuges, where she supported people who had experienced sexual violence and domestic abuse. That experience informs how she responds to trauma and to situations where safety and trust need rebuilding.
Background and approach
Fiona uses an integrative approach, drawing from different psychological ideas to suit each person. She places greatest importance on the relationship she builds with the person in front of her. That relationship is used to look at how early life events might shape current feelings and patterns.
In sessions she helps people identify recurring patterns and unhelpful responses, then works with them to try different ways of responding. Meetings are offered in a warm, non-judgemental way and aim to make people feel properly heard. Sessions normally last 45 minutes and Fiona offers flexible scheduling - weekly, fortnightly or monthly meetings are possible.
The focus is on finding a pace and style that suits the person’s needs and comfort.

Online support
Choosing the right method is part of the work she does with each person. She will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working and adapt the approach as you go. The decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy allows the same therapeutic work to continue without a commute. Video calls provide face-to-face contact when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
