About Fiona
Fiona Platts is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of direct client work in the UK. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and parenting strains. Sessions are described as collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.
Fiona draws on client-centred practice to help people feel heard and understood while they talk through difficulties. She also uses elements of existential thinking to look at meaning and direction when life changes feel overwhelming. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is part of current struggles.
She has worked in private practice and has experience providing therapy online. Fiona often helps people untangle communication problems, family of origin issues, codependency and commitment concerns. She also supports people facing body image worries, caregiver stress and the practical fallout from separation or divorce.
In sessions she aims to help people spot small, manageable steps that shift how they cope. Work can include talking, reflecting on options and practising different ways of handling difficult moments. The emphasis is on clear, practical ways to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Fiona asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire before booking a first appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients at present.
How Fiona’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says. Online sessions with this approach are often used to unpack current problems, improve communication and make choices that feel right for the person. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, values and direction when life feels difficult. It can be useful for coping with big changes, grief or feeling stuck. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of past harm on present life and functioning. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Fiona will discuss options with the person and agree a way of working that fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone join from a quieter setting, use audio only if video is difficult, or schedule sessions that fit a lunch break or other commitments.Areas of expertise
