About me
Hello, I’m Fiona. I am a BACP accredited integrative therapist (MBACP Accred) and have been practising since 2016 in both the charity and private sectors.
I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, stress, problems at work, ideas of identity, meaning and purpose – among other challenges. I know it can be difficult and frustrating to navigate your way through all the options and therapy jargon out there. So, put simply, I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to talk through what’s going on for you. We’ll then work together to deepen your understanding of the challenges that you’re facing and what you’d like to be different before looking at how you might choose to use that insight to drive change.
While the path therapy takes is unique to each person, and is lead by you, common routes involve exploring how we experience our lives, ourselves, our relationship to others and our place in the world. This often includes looking at the influence of our past, while offering an opportunity to experience ourselves and others in a new, more authentic way. This might lead to challenging unhelpful patterns or cycles and supporting you to make different choices in the future.
NEXT STEPS
Drop me an email or give me a call if you have any questions or would like to book an initial session. In that first session, we'll talk about what you want to get out of therapy and how we might work together. You can then decide if you want to continue. You can also find further information on my website, www.fionaslatertherapy.com.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and have been practising since 2016. I hold a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB Certificate in Counselling Studies.
I have worked in an agency setting as well as private practice, and in my publishing career have been involved with writing and producing a number of books on wellbeing and mental health, including a series of bestselling books with the mental health charity Mind.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
My practice is exclusively online, which means that therapy sessions are conducted over video calls via Zoom. Therapy sessions are held in precisely the same way as traditional in-person therapy but with the added flexibility that they can take place wherever you are. Online therapy can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule, travel a lot, or could benefit from the reduction in journey time. It is also useful for those who would prefer to be in their own space during therapy.
