About Fiona
Fiona Wetherell is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience supporting people affected by trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, stress and low mood. She has specialist experience from working at a rape crisis centre and in women’s refuges, where she provided counselling to adults and children impacted by sexual violence and domestic abuse.
Fiona uses an integrative approach, drawing on different theories to suit the person she is working with. She places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and on exploring early life experiences to understand current patterns. Sessions are usually 45 minutes long and she offers flexible scheduling to meet different needs.
In practice she helps people talk through distressing thoughts and feelings and to identify patterns of behaviour that keep problems going. That might include looking at attachment and abandonment issues, difficulties with communication or problems that follow bereavement, separation or illness. She notes concerns such as body image, fertility challenges and ageing among the issues she can address.
Fiona aims to provide a non-judgemental setting where people are heard and understood. You can choose to meet weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on what suits you. If you prefer, check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.
Her background in crisis and refuge services informs a practice that is practical and person-centred. She works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Fiona describes her practice as integrative, which means she draws on different evidence-based techniques and fits them to the person. That can include approaches that focus on understanding how early relationships shape current behaviour, helping people spot repeated patterns and try alternative responses. It can also involve trauma-informed work to help people process past abuse and reduce symptoms that affect day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree together which techniques to try. That plan can change over time as you notice what helps and what does not, with the therapist offering practical ways to test new patterns between sessions.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before you book. Fiona normally offers 45-minute appointments and a flexible rhythm of weekly, fortnightly or monthly meetings, but specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins or let someone choose not to use video when that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
