Background and approach

She combines client-centred listening with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means sessions mix steady listening, noticing how the body responds, and simple skills to change unhelpful thoughts or patterns. She has experience supporting people with addictions, motivation, low self-esteem, relationship strain and coping with life changes.

Fiona also works with issues such as trauma, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include body image, caring responsibilities, chronic health concerns and attachment-related difficulties. In a session she aims to make things clear and manageable.

People can expect plain language, short exercises and space to notice bodily responses alongside talk. Fiona explains tools and practices so they can be used between sessions. For practical arrangements she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How somatic and practical approaches work online

Somatic-informed work pays attention to how stress and emotion sit in the body. Online sessions can include guided attention to breath, posture and physical sensations to help people notice and reduce tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking committed action; it uses simple exercises to change how people relate to difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and a respectful space where people can speak freely and be heard. Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they adapt techniques and the mix of body-focused and talking work so the approach fits the person’s needs. Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets the therapist and client see non-verbal cues, while phone and chat can suit those who prefer less visual contact. Messaging is useful for brief check-ins and practical coaching between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and access so people can keep progress moving even when life is busy.
