About Fiona

Fiona Wallace is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress and panic. She also supports people managing grief, relationship difficulties and questions about self-esteem and body image. Her style is straightforward and practical, and she writes in everyday language to make first steps feel easier to take.

Fiona works from the view that clients know their own lives best and already have strengths to build on. In sessions she helps people step back from problems that feel all-consuming. That often means looking at patterns, identifying small changes, and trying out new ways of coping between meetings.

Her experience includes helping with addictions, eating and food-related issues, chronic pain and illness, and attachment or intimacy-related concerns. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the issues she has supported people with, along with stress and depression.

Fiona holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her professional credential, and she has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and is comfortable working with international clients.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fiona uses a subscription billing model that can be cancelled at any time, and she encourages people to reach out even when the first step feels hard.

How Fiona uses practical approaches in online therapy

Fiona works with evidence-based techniques that focus on what helps in day-to-day life. One common strand is problem-focused work that looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, then teaches simple strategies to interrupt unhelpful cycles and reduce anxiety symptoms. This can help with panic attacks, stress and worry.

She also uses approaches that emphasise behavioural experiments and gradual exposure to feared situations. These methods support people to test new responses in small steps, build confidence, and learn that they can cope with sensations that once felt overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Fiona will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit what a person needs. The first few sessions usually include checking how things feel and agreeing on a plan together.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or avoiding being on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep continuity of care when people move or travel, but Fiona recommends confirming logistics and format options when you book.
