About Fiona

Fiona Hazelden helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and motivation. She works with issues including depression, addiction, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career change. Fiona is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience.

Fiona uses clear, direct conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She plans sessions to focus on practical steps as well as understanding difficult feelings. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable pieces so progress feels possible between meetings.

Her background includes work with people coping with bipolar difficulties, compassion fatigue and ADHD, and with those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues. She also has experience with attachment and dissociation concerns, and with neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Fiona supports people facing long-term health challenges and chronic pain, carers under stress, and those handling codependency or commitment problems. She also addresses body image, communication and control issues, and some personality-related patterns such as avoidant or antisocial tendencies.

People who choose Fiona can expect a straightforward approach that balances practical techniques with space to talk through the past. She invites clients to set goals together and checks progress as therapy continues. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Fiona uses evidence-based approaches online

Fiona works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing more helpful ways of thinking and acting to lower anxiety and depression. This can help with stress, sleep problems and motivation concerns.

Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences in small, contained steps so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming. This method can be useful for people who have experienced trauma, abuse or dissociation and for those with attachment-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Fiona explores goals and preferences collaboratively and adjusts methods as people notice what is or is not helpful. Clients are invited to review progress and suggest changes to keep therapy relevant to their needs.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective work through remote sessions when approaches and practical arrangements suit the client's needs.
