A warm, grounded space to make sense of what you've lived through, even if you don't yet know where to start.
You may be carrying the impact of something painful, confusing or destabilising. You may not know how to explain it or where to begin.
Counselling with Fiona offers space to slow things down, feel heard without judgement, and begin at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
The impact of trauma, relationship harm or painful experiences can leave you feeling on edge, confused, disconnected or not quite like yourself.
You may be carrying more than others can see. You may not have the words for it yet, only a sense that something feels heavy, unsafe or hard to carry on your own.

Together, we can begin gently. You don't need the right words, and you don't have to explain everything at once.
I’m Fiona, a registered counsellor offering a warm, grounded space for adults making sense of trauma, relationship harm and painful life experiences.
My work is trauma-informed, compassionate and non-pathologising. I will not ask you to rush into painful details before you feel ready. Together, we can begin with what feels most present now.
If faith, meaning, spirituality or questions of identity and belonging are part of what you are carrying, these will be included with care. If they are not relevant to you, counselling remains centred on your own needs, choices and values.
You do not need to have the right words, revisit everything at once, or know exactly what counselling should look like.
If we work together, we can begin with what feels most present now, slowly, respectfully, and with attention to your pace, choices and sense of safety.
Painful experiences can affect how safe you feel, how you relate to others, how clearly you can hear yourself, and how much you trust your own needs and choices.

Counselling with Fiona is supported by professional membership, ethical practice, ongoing supervision and continuing professional development.
