Counselling gives a unique time and a protected space that allows you to face and find a way forward to deal with the problems that are causing you emotional distress. I specialise in helping people cope with problems that are having a significant impact on them and/ or their loved ones. This includes personal problems, bereavement, loss of employment, coming to terms with long term health problems, trauma, anxiety, confidence.

Fiona is an angel. From day one she put me at ease and supported me with her calming and understanding professional approach to my depression and anxiety issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with life issues. I can't thank her enough for setting me back on the right track. Much appreciated.

I contacted Fiona due to suffering from PTSD(like) symptoms. The day i called Fiona was calm,reassuring and able to see me a day or so later. I have been so impressed with Fiona's manner both in a professional aspect but also making each visit feel both personal and friendly. Fiona has helped me overcome a lot of the challenges that i was experiencing. Helped me accept and control the elements that still effect me. And supported me through a major life change in career and personal life. During our chats Fiona even noticed a few traits i had that hinted towards suffering from dyslexia. And having

I cannot recommend Fiona enough. Before I found Fiona I was totally lost and crippled with anxiety which controlled all aspects of my day to day life. After only one phone call I already felt better. Fiona is such a lovely kind hearted woman, she is very knowledgeable in her job which is very clear to me, she has given me so many tips and amazing advice which has helped me cope with my anxiety and live my life without letting anxiety control me. Fiona is easy to talk to and makes me feel so at ease when we chat. After 4 or 5 phonecalls weekly I was in a much better place and really feel confident
