In Person Counselling in Notting Hill, London
Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed and lost, especially when navigating emotional and physical pain. Imagining freedom from this can feel daunting and impossible. My aim is to co-create with you a therapeutic space rooted in curiosity, honesty, and care. This brings awareness to your habitual patterns and to address them with a supportive and open approach. As a qualified psychotherapist, I engage with your story and create a space where you can speak freely, explore the meaning of your symptoms, gain insights, and question your personal beliefs. Together, we can actively shape a change that aligns with your values and hopes.

I offer therapy sessions in person and online in east and west London.
I am an integrative and humanistic counselling psychotherapist working at HQ Therapy in Hackney and also in West London. I hold an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent’s University, complimented with a BA in psychology. I am currently working towards UKCP accreditation. As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of theories from different schools of thought to best meet your individual needs and situation. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method; instead, I work collaboratively and holistically to tailor the therapeutic process to your needs. I pride myself on being non- judgmental and open.

Are you looking for a safe and supportive space to explore difficult feelings, relationships, or experiences? We all encounter difficulties at some points in our lives: problems with relationships, anxiety or depression, sexual concerns, low self-esteem, addiction to alcohol or drugs, bereavement, trauma or feelings of anger, grief or panic. As a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor, I offer a non-judgemental, confidential space in which to explore the conflicts and issues that bring you to therapy and to start to address the underlying patterns that may prevent you from moving forward in your life.

I work both online and in person.
As a trauma-informed therapist my approach is rooted in understanding how early relational experiences shape emotional patterns and affect the nervous system, often leading to developmental trauma. Working with adult survivors of abuse, complex PTSD (CPTSD), and emotional dysregulation. I support clients in healing attachment wounds, helping them cultivate greater self-regulation, emotional resilience, and healthier relationships. Through a compassionate and integrative approach, I create a safe, supportive non-judgemental space, where clients can reconnect with themselves.

Present difficulties often have their roots in our past. We are very creative at finding solutions, or self-cures, for what we have experienced. They help us to get by. But often, what troubles us today is a self-cure that no longer works. It's time to time to try something else.

Together with my cat assistant Luna, I provide trauma-informed psychotherapeutic services complemented with holistic approaches, spiritually-based therapy, and growth and transformation techniques. These specialties focus on addressing deep emotional wounds, promoting overall well-being, and facilitating personal growth and transformation. In my practice, psychology is approached as an Art and a Science. Guided by intuition, creativity, and curiosity, I aim to bring a unique and holistic perspective to my work in order to accompany compassionate healing journeys.

Problems with a particular relationship is often what brings individuals and couples to relationship counselling and psychotherapy. As an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist I offer a non judgmental space where we can think together about the interaction and the conflicts of this relationship, seek to understand the recurrent patterns of difficulties you are facing and resolve the underlying issues. Counselling and psychotherapy may involve exploring the past to the extent that it influences the present.

As a positive psychologist I can help you out of the overwhelm, away from the anxiety and reducing the panic. • For you - I consider listening and a hearing your story to be paramount. It's often said "there's something about saying it out loud that brings about a shift" and it's true, I've seen it so often. "Fiona's style has been described by clients as 'more than just listening'. 'She is straight talking, informative and balanced but overall has a genuine and kind understanding."

I offer therapy in person and on line currently on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Feeling stuck? The causes can be many: relationship issues, redundancy, bored in the job or even things sometimes termed as “mental illness.” I use that last term carefully because though it can help define the symptoms, if often fails to get at the human story beneath which is always there and needs addressing as well as any medical issues. In my sessions my aim is to help you past what eve holds you back into a better life- whatever that means to you.

For those unable to see me in person, online counselling is also available.
Sometimes life feels very difficult, with no obvious relief or source of support. You might be seeking therapy because you are feeling stuck, have problems relating to people, anxious or depressed, or maybe you just want support while going through a difficult phase. Counselling and therapy can help through providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to look into the possible sources of feelings and behavioural patterns that might be the underlying causes of distress, facilitating healthy effective ways of making changes in your life.

Or perhaps you would like to meet in person for an initial session so that we can get a sense of whether we are a good match to work together.
Are you anxious? Depressed? Does a harsh self-critic berate you? Do you struggle with relationships? Or perhaps feel overwhelmed by the challenges in life? It is possible to shed these burdens. Life has enough challenges without making it more difficult for ourselves. Therapy can help you lighten your load, see your challenges in a different light and free up more energy for real life. Our goal is a more fulfilled life with an enhanced sense of well-being and deeper relationships and friendships.

There are periods of time when our lives and choices feel difficult and it can seem quite overwhelming. Whether that is presented in feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness, isolation, feelings of not being able to cope, a general feeling of dissatisfaction or relying on external elements such as alcohol or drugs for relief. I am here to provide support and to offer a non-judgemental empathic approach. The goal is to assist you in making the changes you need by talking things through in a safe environment.

Therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships. It can reveal aspects of yourself that you have taken for granted, for example, people-pleasing, self-criticism, overworking, over-rationalizing, dismissing your own needs or emotions. Such patterns of thinking and behaving emerge, because they serve us at different points of our lives. However, what might have served us in adolescence, does not necessarily serve us in adult relationships. My high-achieving clients are often motivated to explore what their specific 'autopilot' entails.

Being trained psychodynamically, enables me to look at patterns & coping mechanisms that may have been set down in the past but that are repeating, unconsciously and often unhelpfully, in the present. Often these come to light when a crisis - bereavement; the end of a relationship; redundancy; illness - occurs. Perhaps an overwhelm of anxiety, depression & panic attacks have led you to this page now... By offering an authentic, non- judgemental & confidential space I can help you to explore the difficult feelings which you are experiencing, to enable you to understand and process what is occurring now, so as to navigate the future.
