Background and approach
Fiona draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, attachment-focused ideas and trauma-informed ways of working to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations aim to make unhelpful thoughts clearer and to build small, practical steps forward. Fiona also supports people with relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strains, grief and loss, body image and eating concerns.
She has particular experience around fertility, pregnancy and post-pregnancy trauma including traumatic birth and baby loss, and she is a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association. Her background includes work with a sexual abuse charity and with people who have medical roles such as GPs, nurses and psychologists.
She has also worked with those from emergency services and armed forces settings, bringing an understanding of high-pressure work and trauma responses. Sessions focus on helping people notice patterns, build coping skills and make choices that fit their life. Fiona aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can feel heard while they work towards clearer thinking and steadier routines.

How Fiona’s approaches translate to online therapy
Fiona uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT sessions typically involve identifying negative thought patterns, testing them and trying small practical experiments to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This work helps people understand patterns in intimacy, trust and communication and supports rebuilding more supported ways of connecting with others.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is a shared process. Fiona will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Together you can try different techniques and decide what helps most as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when you need a quieter or lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, homework prompts or when written reflection feels more manageable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
