About Fiona

Fiona Connell works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, anger and career concerns using a pluralistic counselling approach. She practises as a Pluralistic Counsellor and is registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). She has three years' experience, including time working with a mental health charity before moving into private practice.

Fiona describes her way of working as person-centred within a pluralistic framework. That means sessions are organised around what the client needs rather than a fixed plan. She uses regular check-ins so the focus can change as things shift between appointments.

Her background includes several years at a mental health charity, and she now runs a private practice. That experience shapes how she supports people who are dealing with loss, ongoing stress, or the effects of past abuse. She also helps with difficulties linked to work and managing anger.

In practical terms Fiona aims to build an honest working relationship. She offers a non-judgemental space where clients can talk through their concerns and consider options for change. She works collaboratively to plan the next steps and reviews progress as therapy continues.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not currently take international clients. Fees vary with location and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the counsellor directory button.

How Fiona uses pluralistic and person-centred methods online

Fiona works within a pluralistic counselling model which means she draws on more than one therapeutic idea depending on what is helpful. In practice this might mean blending person-centred listening with practical problem-solving or paced discussions about past events, depending on the client and the issue. This approach can suit worries such as anxiety, low mood, grief and the effects of past abuse.

Her person-centred stance focuses on understanding the client's experience and shaping sessions around their priorities. The therapist and client agree goals together and review them regularly, so the style or techniques can change as the work progresses. This makes selecting an approach a collaborative part of the early sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and they can reduce the time needed for appointments. Different formats may suit different needs, for example shorter phone conversations for quick check-ins or video sessions for a fuller face-to-face feel, and Fiona will discuss what fits best given a person's schedule and preferences.
