Fiona Connell, NCPS

Fiona Connell is a Pluralistic Counsellor with NCPS and three years' practice experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem, depression, addictions, anger and career concerns. Fiona focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start.

She previously worked for a mental health charity and has moved into private practice. Her Pluralistic approach means she draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than relying on a single method. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and how they prefer to work.

Fiona describes her way of working as person‑centred and collaborative. She uses regular check-ins so the plan can shift if priorities change. The emphasis is on honest conversation and practical steps people can try between sessions.

She aims to build a trusting working relationship through kindness and integrity. Where there is a serious risk of harm, she will follow mandatory safeguarding responsibilities. Otherwise she focuses on straightforward discussion about feelings, reactions and responses, and on small changes that reduce pressure in day-to-day life.

People come to Fiona for help managing bursts of anger, long‑standing resentment, or tense reactions at work and home. She supports them to notice triggers, try different responses, and review what helps and what does not.
