About Fiona

Fiona Platts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing trauma, stress and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of direct client experience in independent practice and online work. Fiona aims to create a calm and steady space so people can begin to make sense of hard experiences.

Fiona commonly helps people facing anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with family and parenting strains, caregiver stress, blended family challenges and issues around self-esteem and body image.

Background and approach

Practical matters such as work and career worries, anger and communication problems are part of her caseload too. Her style is collaborative and person-focused. Fiona listens first, then shapes sessions around each person’s needs.

She works at a pace set by the client and concentrates on what feels manageable in the moment. Trauma-focused methods and existential ideas inform her approach. That means she pays attention to how past events affect day-to-day life, and to the bigger questions people bring about meaning, choice and responsibility.

Client-Centred Therapy guides the way she responds to each person’s experience. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fiona explains options clearly and helps people pick formats that fit their lives.

Starting a course of sessions involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site's booking flow.

How Fiona’s approaches work online

Fiona uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people look at how past harm affects their day-to-day life and coping. This approach pays attention to distressing experiences and to practical steps that reduce their impact on current routines.

Client-Centred Therapy shapes how she listens and responds. Sessions focus on the person’s perspective, with the counsellor offering empathic reflection and support so each person can find their own solutions. Existential ideas are also drawn on to help clients consider meaning, responsibility and personal choices when facing major life questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will discuss aims, preferences and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be useful for short check-ins, day-to-day support or when a written approach feels easier to express. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
