About Fiona
Fiona Wetherell is a counsellor with eight years' experience working in the UK. She has supported people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, and offers one-to-one talking therapy for stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Fiona uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person's needs.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space and to listen without judgement. In earlier roles she worked at a rape crisis centre and in women’s refuges, providing counselling to adults and children who had experienced sexual assault or domestic violence.
Background and approach
That practical background shapes how she responds to trauma, making sensitivity and safety central to the work. Fiona draws on different therapeutic ideas rather than relying on a single method. She helps people look back at early life experiences to understand current patterns.
Together they identify unhelpful cycles and find practical ways to change them. Sessions are normally 45 minutes long and Fiona offers flexible scheduling - weekly, fortnightly or monthly appointments can be arranged. She places strong emphasis on building a good working relationship so clients feel heard and understood.
People often come to her for help with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and relationship problems. She also provides support around issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, grief related to illness, and communication difficulties. Fiona practices in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Fiona uses an integrative approach which means she draws on several evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person. One common approach is talking therapy that looks at past experiences to understand current feelings and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, relationship problems and low self-esteem. Another frequent element is trauma-informed support that focuses on responding sensitively to people who have experienced abuse or assault and aims to build safety and trust within the sessions.Finding the right approach is something Fiona treats as a collaboration. She will work with the client to agree what feels most helpful, reviewing progress and adjusting the way she works as needs and goals change. The aim is to fit methods to the person rather than forcing one style on everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Text or chat options suit short check-ins, easy scheduling and people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options help make regular therapy more manageable alongside work, family or treatment commitments.
