About me
I'm Fiona, an NCPS-accredited therapist working with individuals and couples on trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, and neurodiversity. It can be tough reaching out — asking for help from someone you don't know, and learning to trust them. Life can get messy, and our experiences can leave us feeling stuck, lost, or repeating patterns that don't serve us. Seeking help is the first step toward changing that.
Counselling is my second career. After years in the corporate and creative sector, volunteering in schools, and ten years as an expatriate and mother to two teens, I retrained as a counsellor — which gives me a fairly unique lens on the challenges we all face, regardless of life stage or culture. My work spans the education and charitable sector, couples therapy, and private practice.
I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to share what you're going through. Together we'll identify what's in the way and work out how to move past it, drawing on evidence-based, collaborative practice.
I hold a Master's in Counselling (with Distinction) from Monash University, Australia, and am an accredited member of the ational Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
Training, qualifications & experience
My background isn't just in counselling. In a previous incarnation I worked as a senior manager and consultant in advertising, marketing, and consultancy. That experience gave me real insight into the pressures of juggling work and family — something I draw on constantly with clients facing similar struggles. Seeing how much people needed support in this area ultimately led me to train as a counsellor. I wanted to combine that practical understanding with a solid theoretical foundation, so I completed a Master's in Counselling and an Honours degree in Education, specialising in how neurodiversity affects learning.

Seeking help is the first step toward changing that, and I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to work through what's holding you back together.
My Master's focused on Person-Centred therapy and CBT; I've since undertaken additional qualifications in DBT and ACT, and I'm Level 1 and 2 Gottman qualified — couples therapy that helps partners reconnect and improve communication.
