About Fionnuala
Fionnuala Curley is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and feeling stuck by life changes. She works with those facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting strain, and career-related stress. Fionnuala also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Her consultations are warm and interactive. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed script. Fionnuala aims to make sessions straightforward and grounded in everyday language.
She combines Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. That mix lets her focus on present thinking and behaviours, while also noticing patterns from past experience that still affect day-to-day life. Treatment is tailored to what a person wants to change, and to the pace they prefer.
In a session she will listen, reflect, and offer practical strategies alongside longer-term exploration. This might include simple exercises to try between sessions and talking through ways to manage stress or improve communication. The goal is to help people build skills and feel more able to handle life’s demands.
Fionnuala works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening carefully, reflecting what is said and helping people find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a compassionate space to talk and work out their priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits best with a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
The practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and cutting travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work or family commitments and to keep regular momentum between meetings. The site supports international clients, but the exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking so people know how they will meet their counsellor.
