Hello, my name is Fiona. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.I am a qualified and experienced counsellor. My main area of experience has been with the rape crisis centre working with men, women and children who have suffered rape or sexual abuse. I have also spent a number of years working in women’s refuges providing counselling to women and children who have experienced domestic abuse.
My training was integrative meaning that I can draw upon different theories to tailor my approach to suit you. However, the most important aspect for me is the therapeutic relationship which I believe enables you to explore, in a safe and contained way, those thoughts and feelings which may be troubling you and to gently discover the origin of these through looking at early life experiences. A shared understanding of any difficulties you may be experiencing may help you to identify patterns of behaviour and see the way to make changes. I work towards offering you warmth and empathy and a safe non-judgmental space within which to make sense of your thoughts and feelings.
Sessions are normally 45 minutes long and I have a flexible approach so that you can decide whether to see me weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It is important that you feel comfortable working with me and I aim to offer you a space where you will be properly heard and understood.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
