About Fionnuala

Fionnuala Curley helps people work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, depression and life changes. She uses a mix of talking, listening and practical techniques to support coping and decision-making. Fionnuala is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

She draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on the person's experience and priorities. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Psychodynamic ideas help look at patterns that repeat over time and where they may come from.

Sessions are conversational and interactive. Fionnuala aims to help people clarify what they want to change and to try small, practical steps between sessions. That might include experimenting with new communication approaches, testing out coping strategies, or reflecting on past patterns that affect current choices.

She has supported people with family problems, parenting and fatherhood concerns, blended family issues, and intimacy-related difficulties including commitment and infidelity matters. She also works with grief, compassion fatigue, isolation and questions about life purpose and ageing.

She combines short-term practical work with longer conversations when needed, and adapts the pace to each person's circumstances.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the client's own priorities and experiences, and the counsellor reflects these back to help clarify next steps.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions, and tries practical adjustments. Online work can include setting specific tasks between sessions and reviewing simple behavioural experiments together.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to repeating patterns and early influences on current relationships. This can help make sense of long-standing habits and provide material to consider during conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will work with the client to try approaches and adapt them as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into busy schedules and making it easier to attend from different locations. If you are considering remote work, please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time or accommodate work breaks.
