About Fiona

Fiona Hazelden is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and confidence, addictions, sleeping and eating issues, anger, and other life changes. She also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar challenges, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and on talking through what is happening day to day. Fiona adapts the pace and topics to the person she is working with so sessions stay relevant and manageable.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional pain, difficult memories, and patterns that keep repeating. That can mean learning new ways to notice and manage strong feelings, testing out different responses in safe conversation, and picking small experiments to try between sessions.

Fiona has worked across a range of issues including abandonment, attachment problems, adoption and foster care matters, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and dissociation. She also supports people dealing with body image, communication and control issues, and those with autism or personality style challenges.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fiona accepts international clients and offers work in English.

How sessions work

Practical approaches for online emotional work

Fiona works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage strong feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach she uses focuses on noticing sensations and thoughts when anger rises, then practising alternative responses so reactions change over time. This helps with workplace frustration, snapping at loved ones, and ongoing resentment.

A second approach involves working through difficult memories and painful experiences in a steady way. This kind of work aims to reduce the hold past events have on current reactions and to build clearer ways of relating when distress strikes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and agreeing small tasks to try between sessions.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone contact to manage technical limits or to keep things simple, while others like video to follow non-verbal cues. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking to make sure they fit your schedule and daily life.
