About Fionnuala

Fionnuala Curley is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and with those coping with life changes. She also supports clients with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues and parenting challenges.

Her approach mixes Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. Sessions are conversational and interactive. Fionnuala aims to listen without labels and to treat people with respect and sensitivity.

In practical terms she uses CBT techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and patterns still affect daily life. The client-centred element keeps conversations focused on the person's priorities and experience.

Fionnuala commonly helps people working through family problems, blended family issues and co-parenting tensions. She also supports people with career questions, feelings of isolation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and difficulties with intimacy or commitment.

People choosing to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions that use this approach keep the conversation driven by the client's concerns and pace, which can help when sorting out parenting or relationship questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can include setting small tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping with stress or anxiety.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns rooted in past relationships and how they appear now. In an online setting this can help identify recurring themes in family life or commitment issues over time.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to help people balance therapy with everyday responsibilities.
