Fiona Platts

Fiona Platts is a counsellor who works in a warm, client-focused way. She uses simple, practical conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and depression. Fiona meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also uses Existential Therapy to help people make sense of life changes and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting daily life. These approaches are applied flexibly to match each person’s needs.

Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including parenting strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, body image and blended family issues. Fiona also works with anger, low self-esteem, communication and commitment problems, and the effects of abuse or domestic violence. She aims to help people find clearer choices and small, practical steps forward.

Fiona is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of client work experience. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Fiona uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time and adapts her approach to the goals and preferences of each person.

How Fiona’s approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can explore their feelings and make their own choices. This approach is useful for worries about relationships, low self-esteem and grief.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how painful events affect daily life now and helps people develop ways to manage those effects. It aims to reduce distress and increase coping with symptoms that follow trauma or abuse.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working. Together you will choose methods and a pace that suit your needs and what you want to change.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caregiving duties. It can also allow shorter check-ins, quieter conversations when needed, or sessions that avoid travel. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and make therapy part of everyday life.
