About Fiona

Fiona Kennedy is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression and difficult life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions and sleep or parenting struggles.

Fiona’s practice focuses on collaboration and steady progress. Sessions move at a pace that suits the person while keeping attention on practical change. She combines listening and reflective conversation with clear, usable strategies you can try between sessions.

People come to her when they want to understand the patterns behind their reactions. She helps clients notice how attachment and past experiences shape current relationships and emotional responses. That often leads to different ways of responding rather than automatic outbursts or withdrawal.

Her work includes attention to mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress, plus issues such as chronic pain or illness and workplace pressures. She also addresses feelings of abandonment, shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose and identity.

Fiona uses approaches that centre the person’s experience and relationships. She aims to build insight, steadier self-trust and everyday coping skills. Practical steps and clearer communication are common aims in her sessions.

How sessions work

How Fiona’s approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. In sessions this means looking at how past hurt or insecurity shows up as anger or withdrawal, and trying different ways of connecting and responding in present relationships.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name feelings and make clearer choices. This approach is useful for building self-trust and slowing intense reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Fiona works with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as sessions progress.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel when days are full. Discussing practical arrangements at the first meeting helps match the format to everyday life and to the issues you want to address.
