About Fiona
Fiona Platts is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people facing difficult life events. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, trauma and depression. Fiona aims to support clients as they make changes and find clearer ways forward at a pace that feels comfortable.
Fiona draws on client-centred methods that keep the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also uses existential ideas to help people explore meaning and choices when life feels confusing. Trauma-focused techniques are applied when past events continue to affect day-to-day life.
Her practice includes helping with parenting pressures, family problems and blended family issues. She also addresses challenges such as self-esteem, career stress, body image concerns, codependency and caregiver strain. Fiona offers practical listening and reflection to help people untangle patterns and make decisions that suit them.
With three years of client work, Fiona has worked in both private practice and online settings. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is noted in her credentials as BACP.
People who come to her can expect collaborative sessions where the therapist and client agree goals and pace together. Fiona uses plain language, gentle questioning and steady support to help people notice options and try new ways of coping. She encourages small steps and values each person’s autonomy in choosing what change looks like.
How Fiona’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s lead. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to work through worry, stress or relationship concerns. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility, and can help when people feel stuck or question life direction. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of past events and building strategies to manage their effects in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and will collaboratively shape the method and pace of sessions. That way the approach fits both the issue and the individual’s comfort with how to proceed.
