About Fiona

Fiona Wetherell is a counsellor with eight years' experience working across services for people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse. She has spent substantial time at a rape crisis centre and in women’s refuges, offering one-to-one support to those recovering from traumatic experiences.

Fiona aims to create a calm, accepting environment where people can speak openly about painful memories and current worries. Fiona uses an integrative approach, which means she draws on different theories to meet each person's needs rather than following a single method.

Background and approach

She places particular value on the therapeutic relationship and on helping people feel heard and understood. Sessions are used to gently explore thoughts, feelings and early life experiences that may influence present difficulties. The work often focuses on recognising patterns of behaviour and identifying small, realistic steps for change.

Fiona offers warmth, empathy and non-judgemental listening to support people through that process. She typically runs 45 minute sessions and adapts the pace to match each person's comfort. People decide the rhythm of their work, choosing weekly, fortnightly or monthly meetings according to what suits them.

Fiona explains practical options clearly at the start so people know what to expect and can make informed choices about their care. Her areas of concern include stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues and trauma and abuse. Fiona also helps with related matters such as attachment and communication problems, bereavement and separation, body image and fertility worries.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Fiona commonly uses integrative, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that bring together different ways of working. Integrative therapy blends ideas from several approaches so sessions can be tailored to the person’s needs; this helps when someone has complex or overlapping concerns. Trauma-informed work focuses on safety and pacing, helping people to process distressing memories gradually and build coping strategies for stress and dissociation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they agree on the methods and session rhythm that feel most helpful and adjust the plan over time as needs change.

Online formats make that collaborative work more flexible. Video calls approximate a face-to-face conversation and are useful for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, practical problem solving and people who find writing easier than speaking. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
