About Fiona
Fiona Wetherell is a counsellor with eight years of experience who works from an integrative background. She has substantial experience supporting people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, and she aims to offer a calm and steady presence during difficult conversations. Fiona uses warmth and non-judgement to help people feel heard and understood.
Her work often begins with building a trusting therapeutic relationship. She helps people talk through painful memories and everyday struggles so they can see how past experiences shape present patterns. Fiona pays attention to early life events and attachment patterns when these seem relevant to current difficulties.
Fiona tailors each session by drawing on different counselling ideas, depending on what feels most useful for the person in front of her. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns and consider practical steps towards change. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to make complex feelings easier to name.
People often come to her with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem or depression. She also works with issues including abandonment, communication problems, body image, and coping with illness or fertility challenges. Fiona offers a steady space to reflect and plan small, manageable changes.
Sessions are usually 45 minutes long and she is flexible about session frequency - weekly, fortnightly or monthly can be arranged. If you prefer a measured, compassionate approach that pays attention to personal history, Fiona may be a good match.
Approach and online therapy that fits your life
Fiona works from an integrative counselling approach, which means she draws on several evidence-based techniques to suit each person. One common strand she uses is trauma-informed listening, which focuses on helping people tell their story at a pace that feels safe and on recognising how traumatic events affect thoughts and relationships. This can help with symptoms of anxiety, intrusive memories and difficulties in close relationships.An additional element often used is relational work that looks at attachment and early relationships. This approach helps people see patterns in how they connect with others and supports changes in communication and emotional responses. It can be useful for relationship problems, commitment issues and feelings of emptiness.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different options with you, watch how you respond, and agree on a plan that matches your goals and preferences. Fiona aims to adapt methods as progress is made so the work stays relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a comfortable location or want to pace sessions with less frequent appointments.
