Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that make a real difference. She has worked with people facing family conflict, parenting questions, and relationship strain. Fiona also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and challenges around intimacy.

She helps with practical concerns such as sleeping, eating and coping with major life changes. Fiona combines client-centred listening with goal-focused techniques. Sessions tend to be collaborative - she listens, reflects what she hears, and then suggests experiments or small tasks to try between meetings.

She pays attention to motivation, self‑esteem and building confidence alongside symptom relief. Her style is straightforward and supportive. Fiona encourages clients to notice their strengths and to take gradual steps that fit their life.

She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process as manageable as possible.

How Fiona's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice attachment responses, practise new ways of relating and repair ruptures in important relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches people to spot unhelpful thoughts and to test small behaviour changes. CBT techniques adapt easily to video or phone meetings and can include written worksheets and home experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fiona works collaboratively to identify what matches a person's goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most, suggests options, and together they decide which methods to try and how to pace the work.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for brief support, follow-up between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility and let people choose what works best for their routines and comfort.
