About Fiona
I have always been fascinated by people, why we do what we do, how our early experiences shape us and why so many of us find it easier to hold things together on the outside than to acknowledge what's really going on underneath.
I'm Fiona, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working in Uxbridge, Gerrards Cross and online. I support adults experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, stress and emotional overwhelm, particularly those who appear capable and high-functioning to the outside world but are quietly exhausted, anxious or stuck in patterns they can't quite explain.
I hold a BACP-accredited qualification in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and am an Accredited Registrant Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). My training has been heavily influenced by attachment theory, trauma-informed approaches and an understanding of how the nervous system holds and responds to stress.
Therapy with me isn't about sitting in silence waiting for a breakthrough. It's a collaborative, thoughtful process, and I'll be an active, warm presence throughout, creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore what's happening beneath the surface and move towards meaningful, lasting change.
My background
My counselling journey began with a deep curiosity about human behaviour and a heartfelt passion for supporting others as they navigate life’s challenges and complexities.
I hold BACP-accredited qualifications in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and have experience working with clients facing a range of difficulties, including relationship difficulties, domestic and emotional abuse, gender-based violence, grief, anxiety, trauma and wider mental health challenges.
I am also committed to ongoing professional development and am a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
How I work
My work is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on your individual needs and what feels most helpful for you. I take a mind-body approach to therapy, recognising the connection between your thoughts, emotions and physical responses. Alongside psychodynamic thinking, I incorporate an understanding of the nervous system, including polyvagal-informed approaches, helping us explore how your system has learned to respond to stress, anxiety and trauma.
I work particularly well with clients who may appear to be coping outwardly while feeling overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally exhausted underneath. This can include anxiety, relational trauma, burnout, masking and the effects of feeling responsible for holding everything together. Where helpful, I may also introduce grounding techniques, as well as elements of CBT and solution-focused therapy, to support you in managing day-to-day challenges alongside deeper therapeutic work.
I value the therapeutic relationship and aim to create a space that feels compassionate, empathetic and non-judgemental. I strive to tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, working at a pace that feels right for you.
