A warm and welcoming space to be heard
Through my experience as a person-centred counsellor, I have repeatedly seen how calm and collaborative connection can prove invaluable during times of challenge.
You will be able to voice your unique experiences and feelings at your own pace in a warm and compassionate space. This can be highly beneficial during times of change, difficulty or loss.
Our sessions will provide you with an opportunity to carefully explore your concerns and emotions. I work empathically and do not make judgments about you or what you share with me.
The therapeutic relationship we develop together will support you to speak freely and openly. Together we can consider your unique experiences, gain a greater insight into your situation and understand how this is impacting you.
Our sessions can lead to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance, and to finding ways to progress that you feel most comfortable with.
I work with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Bereavement - I have undertaken specialist bereavement training
- Miscarriage - I have 10 years of experience of charitable support work with bereaved parents and have completed SANDS training for counsellors. I am an approved counsellor on the Miscarriage Association counselling directory, and am trained by and listed with The Foundation for Infant Loss.
- Losses experienced through changes of circumstances including retirement, menopause, redundancy, relationships, changes in health or of future plans
- Low self-esteem

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor, an accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc.) and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). My work is guided by the ethical and professional guidelines and standards of these organisations.
I hold an Enhanced DBS.
Testimonials
"I've found Fiona really easy to talk to, kind and patient and non judgemental. It's really helped me being able to talk to her about things I can't share with family and friends. Our calls have helped me through a very difficult time personally."
"Thank you for your excellent support and assistance through some very significant life changes…"
"Very supportive sessions. Fiona is very caring, friendly and professional. Very clear communication from the beginning. It was useful having the introductory session to understand a bit more about how the therapy would work and meet Fiona. I would highly recommend this service. The cost of the sessions is very affordable. In each session there is time to discuss, reflect and the questions Fiona asks really help the session to feel client led, which I found very helpful and supportive."
"I felt safe during our sessions and was comfortable enough to share anything I wanted to. I always felt like a weight had been lifted after each session too."
"I feel that without your help and total understanding of my situation I don't think that I would be here…"
"I feel lucky to have had you to help me through all this…"
"Fiona is very good at listening and rewording what you have said back to you to confirm that what was expressed was understood, and also to make you reflect on what you said. She asks good questions to make you explore feelings that come up more deeply and is compassionate and understanding."
"I found my sessions with Fiona extremely useful. I didn't realise how beneficial it would be to talk to someone that isn't my family or friends, where I could be completely honest and where I never felt judged."
"I found our sessions extremely helpful. Fiona helped me navigate some very tough times during this past 8 months and I am very grateful."
