About me
Hello I'm Fiona, an Integrative Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience supporting people with trauma, identity, anxiety, stress, shame, depression, grief both online & in person in a space within the beautiful art deco local in West End of Newcastle, upon Tyne at the John Marley Centre.
When you are struggling, your inner world can feel like a noisy, chaotic room. You might feel different parts of you are constantly pulling you in opposite directions- leaving you exhausted and disconnected. I am here to help you make sense of those feelings and patterns to create calm. I work in a collaborative way with each person that comes to see me. I incorporate my evidence based practice skills of varying therapy models to support people and have a humanistic approach to each individual I have the honour of working with.
I've over 10 years of experience supporting adults with a range of mental health difficulties, having trained in the NHS, working in the community and partnering with organisations and charities across the North East of England.
I am also a highly specialist Adoption Art Psychotherapist, having worked with adoption children and families for over a decade via the Local Authority. If you have an adopted child and are seeking support then please reach out and I can guide you on the funding route for therapeutic support with myself.
In my private practice I can offer therapeutic support to Adult Adoptees who maybe struggling with identity, belonging, and attachment difficulties. I am trained in Creative Life Story Work which can benefit anyone at any age.
I am an Associate Lecturer within the Arts & Culture Department at Newcastle University teaching Art Psychotherapy.
My practice is grounded in advanced, evidence-based therapies including IFS (Internal Family Systems) & EMDR & Art Psychotherapy.
I also offer clinical supervision & work based wellbeing workshops. Please visit my Supervisor Profile and my website for further information.
How to get started
The relationship with the therapist is the most important aspect of healing from trauma or any difficult situation and therefore I offer a free 20 min consultation where you can meet me, ask questions and decide if this is the right therapy for you. Please call or email to book a free slot.
I am honoured to do the work I do and hear people’s stories and witness the bravery and strength that we show in adversity and this journey of life.
