About Fiona
BACP. Fiona Platts has three years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns using client-centred, existential and trauma-focused approaches.
Fiona supports people who are coping with life changes, parenting pressures and family problems. She also addresses anger, self-esteem, career questions and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems and forgiveness.
Her style is described in plain terms: she encourages clients to look at themselves and their situations in new ways. Sessions move at a pace the client finds comfortable. The counsellor aims to shape the work around what the person wants to achieve in counselling.
Fiona has worked both in private practice and in online settings. Her experience includes helping people process sexual abuse, trauma and loss, alongside everyday difficulties such as stress and relationship breakdown.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How Fiona’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and the counsellor listens without judgement. This approach suits people who want a space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions about next steps.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help when someone feels stuck, empty or unsure about life direction and wants to examine values and priorities.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events by working with memories and responses to those events. It is used for people dealing with abuse, serious loss or ongoing trauma symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and will adapt methods accordingly in collaboration with the client.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins, or choices that avoid being on camera when that is preferred. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
