A Voice in the Dark Therapy
Counselling in Hillingdon, Gerrards Cross and online.
Supporting you to explore, understand and reconnect with yourself
People come to therapy for many reasons- sometimes with a clear issue, sometimes just a sense that something doesn't feel right.
A Voice in the Dark Therapy provides counselling in Hillingdon, Gerrards Cross and online, for adults who feel emotionally drained, stuck in repeating patterns, or shaped by past experiences that still show up today.
My name is Fiona and I am a therapist in Hillingdon, offering online therapy and face-to-face counselling in Hillingdon and Gerrard's Cross. Sessions are a confidential space where you don't have to explain or perform- you can speak honestly, even when you're not sure what you feel yet.
​
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to shift, therapy can be a place to understand what is happening beneath the surface and begin relating differently- to others, and to yourself.
​
I provide therapy and counselling with a person-centred foundation, meaning the work begins with your experience, at your pace. From there, I work integratively, drawing from different therapeutic approaches to suit your needs.
You might be noticing....
​
Something feels harder than it should. Not always obvious, not always dramatic, but present enough that you've started paying attention.
You might be coming to therapy because you know exactly why. Perhaps anxiety has been building, you feel emotionally stretched or burnt out, certain situations keep triggering strong reactions, or patterns around boundaries, self-doubt or people pleasing are becoming harder to ignore.
Or, you might not have a clear reason at all- just a sense that something isn't sitting right. That you're functioning, but it takes more effort than it used to. That life looks fine on the outside, yet inside something feels unsettled.
Some people arrive with a clear focus. Others arrive with a feeling rather than a story.
Both are equally valid.
​
​
​Therapy doesn't require you to explain yourself perfectly, or know where everything began. It can be a place to slow things down, explore what's happening beneath the surface, and begin to understand yourself more clearly- without pressure to perform, fix or justify how you feel.
You might find yourself...
​
​​​​
-Overthinking conversations or decisions.
​
-Feeling anxious, tense, or emotionally drained.
​
-Struggling to say no without guilt.
​
-Adapting yourself to please others.
​
-Repeating patterns you don't fully understand.
​
-Coping outwardly, while feeling disconnected inwardly.
When coping starts to feel exhausting
​
You might feel constantly alert- thinking ahead, managing situations, replaying conversations. Even when nothing is obviously wrong, it feels hard top fully relax or switch off.
Many people come to counselling because anxiety has been building, life feels emotionally demanding, or something from the past keeps showing up in the present.
Others, arrive with a clear reason- family tension, relationship stress, difficulties at work, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations- and want space to understand what's going on.
You don't need to have the right language for it. You may just know that coping takes more effort than it should.
Over time, this way of being can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, or unsure of yourself- even if, on the outside, you seem to be managing.
​
How past experiences shape the present
​
Our ways of coping don't come from nowhere. They often develop in response to earlier experience- what you needed to do to feel safe, accepted, or emotionally steady at the time.
This might include becoming highly aware of other, avoiding conflict, staying strong, or learning to put your own needs aside.These responses can be deeply understandable, especially where there has been emotional neglect, inconsistency, or trauma.
What once helped you cope maynow be keeping you stuck
​
In therapy, we slow this process down. We look at how past experiences continue to influence your thoughts, emotions, and reactions today-not to analyse you, but to help you understand yourself with clarity rather than self-criticism.
​
How I work
I offer counselling using an integrative approach, with person-centred therapy at the core. This means the work is shaped around you, while I draw from different therapeutic approaches to support both understanding and change.
Alongside exploring your experiences, we refocus on what helps- developing emotional boundaries, reducing anxiety, strengthening your sense of self, and finding ways of coping that do not leave you depleted.

I offer online therapy and face-to-face counselling in Hillingdon and Gerrards Cross.
