Fiona Wetherell, BACP

Fiona Wetherell is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through difficult and often painful life events. She has worked at a rape crisis centre and in women’s refuges, offering one-to-one counselling to adults and children affected by sexual assault and domestic abuse. Fiona presents herself as warm and non-judgmental and aims to help clients feel heard and understood.

Fiona uses an integrative way of working, drawing on different therapeutic ideas to suit each person she sees. She places strong emphasis on the relationship between counsellor and client as the starting point for change. In sessions she helps people look back to early life experiences to make sense of recurring patterns and difficult feelings.

Typical sessions last 45 minutes, and she offers flexible arrangements so people can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly appointments. Fiona aims to create a calm and contained space where difficult thoughts and emotions can be spoken about and explored at a pace that suits the individual.

People contact her for a range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, fertility and the emotional impact of cancer.

Fiona is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Before booking, people may wish to confirm the current session options available.

How Fiona’s approaches can help online

Fiona practises in an integrative way, which means she draws on different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet individual needs. One common approach she uses is exploring early life experiences and attachment patterns to help people understand recurring difficulties and relationship struggles; this can be useful for anxiety, relationship issues and feelings of emptiness. Another element of her work focuses on trauma-informed counselling, offering careful, paced support for people recovering from sexual assault, domestic abuse or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona works with each person to find which methods fit their goals and personal style. She adapts what she does over time as people notice what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy changes with the client’s needs.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to keep a regular schedule, to check in during a lunch break, or to continue work while living in a different area.
