About Fiona
Fiona Wetherell is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She has spent much of that time supporting people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, and she lists stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression among her core areas of work.
Fiona trained in an integrative model, which means she draws on different therapeutic theories rather than following just one. In sessions she focuses on building a reliable working relationship so people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She helps people look at how early life experiences may link to current patterns of behaviour.
Her work often involves identifying repeated patterns and looking for small, practical ways to change them. Fiona keeps sessions to 45 minutes by default and offers flexible scheduling - weekly, fortnightly or monthly meetings are possible depending on what a client prefers.
People who meet her can expect straightforward listening and reflective conversation aimed at helping them make sense of upsetting events. She has direct experience in rape crisis services and women’s refuges, which has shaped how she works with trauma and safety-related concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and Fiona does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Fiona uses therapeutic approaches online
Fiona describes her work as integrative, and that lets her draw on different evidence-based techniques depending on what a person needs. One common approach she uses is trauma-informed talking therapy, which helps people process distressing memories and understand how past events affect current thoughts and reactions. This can be useful for people who have experienced sexual violence or domestic abuse.She also uses methods that look at patterns of behaviour and relationships, helping people identify repeated responses and consider alternative ways of acting. These approaches support work on anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties by making links between past experiences and present challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Fiona discusses options with each client and they decide collaboratively which techniques to try, adapting over time to fit the client’s needs and goals.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit talking therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering a way to meet without needing to be in a waiting room. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to make scheduling simpler and to support continuity of care when in-person sessions are difficult to arrange.
