Fiona MacKenzie

Welcome. I am an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist, Transactional Analysis Counsellor & Developmental and Executive Coach, working with adults, young adults, couples and groups.    I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment in which to explore your thoughts and feelings, to help you move beyond your perceived limitations and realise your full potential.

Counselling & Psychotherapy     For all of us there are times in our lives when we feel confused, distressed or unable to cope.  Therapy offers the opportunity to achieve a greater understanding of ourselves and our emotional distress and through the process of therapy we can discover what holds us back, enabling us to change old patterns and find new ways of approaching and overcoming difficulties.  This leads to better solutions, it enables us to be better grounded and take more control of our lives, improving confidence and self-esteem.   Issues I work with, but are not exclusive to, include:  

• Anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD
• Low self-esteem
• Relationships and family issues
• Life transitions 
•  OCD
• Perfectionism
• Grief and loss
• Self-harm
• Addictions

My therapeutic approach is integrative, mainly drawing on Transactional Analysis, alongside Gestalt, Attachment Theory, Existential, Psychodynamic and CBT models.

Coaching concentrates on personal and professional development. Sometimes, just finding a way through difficult life events can seem impossible, and the feelings we experience can seem overwhelming and very confusing.  We can find ourselves stuck in defeating patterns of behaviour or in relationships which feel unhealthy.   We may be struggling to realise goals or move forward with projects.
The benefits of life coaching are far-reaching.   Whether one is seeking guidance in career advancement or personal development or simply looking for support in navigating through challenges – engaging in a partnership with a coach can be an invaluable investment towards living a fulfilling and purposeful life.   Issues I work with include:

• Improving self-esteem and confidence
• Setting and achieving clear goals
• Procrastination 
• Life transitions
• Feeling stuck
• Managing overwhelm
• Overcoming anxiety
• Improving relationships
• Burnout recovery
• Finding a purpose and pursuing it
• Navigating your 20s & 30s

What to Expect at the First Appointment:  The initial consultation gives us the opportunity to explore the issues you wish to bring to therapy or coaching, what you hope to gain from it and for me to answer any questions you wish to ask.  It also allows me to explain a little bit more about how I work, the models I use, the process of therapy and coaching and my recommendations for our work together.  There is certainly no obligation to continue beyond this initial appointment.
