About Fiona
Fiona Wetherell is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She has extensive experience supporting people affected by rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence, and she lists stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression among the concerns she works with. Fiona also notes work with blended family issues and other family-related struggles.
She began her career at a rape crisis centre, counselling men, women and children who had experienced sexual violence. She later worked in women’s refuges offering support to people who had survived domestic abuse. Those roles shaped how she listens and responds to disclosure, distress and safety concerns.
Fiona describes her training as integrative, which means she draws on more than one theoretical approach. In practice this looks like using different techniques to suit what an individual brings. The relationship between counsellor and client is central to her way of working.
Sessions are normally 45 minutes long. She offers flexibility on frequency so people can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly appointments. Fiona aims to help people identify patterns linked to early life experiences and to consider practical changes in daily life.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Fiona describes her training as integrative, drawing on different evidence-based techniques so she can adapt to what each person needs. That might include talk-based work that looks at early life experiences and attachment patterns to make sense of repeated relationship difficulties and loyalty conflicts.Another common strand is trauma-informed support that helps people who have experienced sexual violence or domestic abuse to process distress and regain practical coping strategies. That work typically focuses on stabilising day-to-day routines and reducing overwhelming reactions rather than rushing into painful memories.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Fiona will work with a person to identify goals, try different methods and agree what feels most helpful. She expects this to change as therapy progresses and will review approaches together.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow a quieter check-in without travel, or offer shorter contacts when that suits someone’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt their methods for remote work so sessions remain practical and focused on day-to-day changes.
