Fiona Wallace, BACP

Fiona Wallace is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which represents recognised professional standards in the United Kingdom. She has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety and panic, grief and loss, intimacy and relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and body image concerns, eating and food-related issues, addictions, depression, and the practical and emotional demands of parenting and life transitions. Her practice also addresses attachment difficulties, trauma and abuse, sexual diversity including BDSM and kink, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, chronic pain and illness, panic disorder, and issues around purpose, isolation, guilt and shame.

Fiona works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own life and already carries resources that can be used to make change. When people feel stuck she offers a chance to step back, gain perspective, and find new ways forward. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s needs, helping clients build practical skills alongside deeper relational and emotional work. Taking the first step can be difficult - Fiona recognises the courage it takes to begin and aims to make the process as supportive and clear as possible.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online care

Fiona draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with relational exploration. One common strand of her work focuses on skills-based strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, panic and low mood - helping clients develop coping tools, regulation techniques and structured ways to approach difficult thoughts and behaviours. Another emphasis is on relational and attachment-informed exploration, which looks at how early patterns and current relationship dynamics influence intimacy, communication, and self-worth, and supports clients to form healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Fiona collaborates with each client to identify which techniques best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the work over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and personally tailored.

Online therapy with Fiona is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexible access to support from different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different comfort levels with talking or writing, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
