About Fiona
Fiona Wetherell is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience. She introduces herself with a calm, straightforward manner and thanks readers for looking at her profile. Fiona has particular experience supporting people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, and she brings that background into how she works with other concerns such as anxiety and stress.
She practises in an integrative way, drawing on different psychological theories to fit each person. Fiona places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work and focuses on offering warmth and empathy. Her aim is to help people talk through difficult feelings and begin to make sense of painful experiences.
In sessions she gently looks at how earlier life events may link to current patterns of behaviour and emotion. Together with the person she encourages small, practical steps that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Fiona keeps the pace suitable to each person and respects their choices about how to move forward.
Sessions are normally 45 minutes long. She offers flexible scheduling so people can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly appointments according to what fits their life. Fiona aims to create a clear space where people feel properly heard and understood.
If someone wants to start, they will be guided through a short matching questionnaire and then can schedule sessions according to her availability.
Approaches that guide online work and choice
Fiona practises an integrative approach, which means she draws on several evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person. That might include talking therapies that help people look at how early relationships affect present feelings and behaviours, useful for anxiety and relationship struggles.She also draws on approaches that focus on understanding and reducing distress after trauma, offering steady, paced support to help people process difficult memories and re-establish everyday routines. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, panic and stress-related problems because they help people notice patterns and try small changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, explain possible ways of working, and agree a plan together. Over a few sessions she checks progress and adjusts methods if needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Practical benefits of remote therapy can include fitting appointments around work or family time and avoiding travel.
