About Fiona
Fiona Platts is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and the fallout from trauma. She works in straightforward, practical ways and focuses on building a trusting connection. Fiona holds BACP registration, and she brings three years of client work experience in the United Kingdom.
She helps people facing relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Fiona also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma, sexual abuse and complex family problems, and she tailors sessions to each person's situation. Fiona prefers to move at a pace that feels comfortable for the client. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs right now, whether that is talking through immediate concerns or working through longer standing patterns.
She aims to help people notice new perspectives and practical steps they can try between sessions. Her way of working draws on client-centred and existential ideas alongside trauma-focused techniques. That mix lets her combine empathic listening with focused work on memories and reactions when needed.
Fiona explains things plainly and checks in often to make sure the approach still fits. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere and a focus on what they want to change. Fiona encourages small, sustainable shifts rather than rushed fixes.
She invites clients to discover their own resources while offering steady support along the way.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on genuine listening and acceptance so people can find their own answers. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to understand feelings and make changes at their own pace.Existential Therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. It can be useful when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone is struggling with direction or purpose.
Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of traumatic experiences by gently working with memories and reactions. It aims to reduce the hold those experiences have on everyday life and improve coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences and current needs. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments.
