More about Fiona

  • 19 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

My expertise is with stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Stemming from this are often relationship issues, sleeping disorders- even procrastination & motivation can be symptoms.

A lot of what we do together is about clearing the decks and getting to the root of it all - but importantly for you - this is to initiate change for you to move forward, not to be triggered by the past.

In our sessions together your time may also focuses on increasing your self esteem and confidence to do this we uncover resources you have and go to the good memories - people don’t often associate therapy with the good stuff - but there is that side too!

All in all it feels like a big list of things that can be tackled! It is .. we’re complex and unique beings with thoughts and feelings that often get scrambled!

I help you translate. Put the past into a perspective and help you get to the future - while we’re at it - make your ‘now’ feel a whole lot better. Dare I say lighter and even peaceful.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
