About Fiona

Fiona Platts is a UK-based counsellor who brings three years of client work across private practice and online settings. She works with people experiencing trauma and sexual abuse, as well as those managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and depression. Her approach focuses on helping individuals discover new perspectives on themselves and their situations so they can move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Fiona adapts therapy to each person she meets, tailoring sessions to reflect individual needs and circumstances and moving at a pace that feels comfortable. She aims to create a collaborative space where the client’s priorities guide the work, and she offers practical and emotional support to empower change. She also addresses a wide range of concerns including family and parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem issues, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and the effects of abuse and loss.

Fiona holds BACP, a recognised counselling credential that indicates membership of a professional counselling body. She emphasises empowerment, practical coping strategies, and compassionate support as clients take the often-difficult step toward change and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Fiona draws on client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the work, offering an accepting, non-judgemental space where clients explore their feelings and goals and develop solutions that fit their life. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past harm affects present wellbeing; this approach focuses on understanding traumatic responses and building skills to process and cope with difficult memories and symptoms. Existential therapy helps people facing life transitions and questions about meaning by exploring values, choice, and responsibility in a way that can reduce feelings of emptiness and increase clarity about next steps.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process and Fiona works collaboratively with each client to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists can blend methods so the work remains practical and personalised.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access help from home or between commitments. These formats support continuity of care and allow sessions to fit around work, family, and daily life while still enabling meaningful therapeutic progress.
