About Fiona
Fiona Brown is an AASW counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worries and trauma in straightforward, practical ways. Fiona aims to make first steps feel achievable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.
Her approach centres on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. She helps people notice patterns in their feelings and how those patterns affect relationships and day-to-day choices.
Background and approach
Sessions include talking through recent problems, identifying emotional triggers, and practising new ways to respond. Fiona also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help with mood, sleep and unhelpful thinking. She offers coaching-style support for career questions and motivation.
For people facing grief, addiction or compassion fatigue she balances practical coping strategies with time to process painful experiences. She has worked with concerns linked to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism spectrum issues and blended family challenges. Communication problems, codependency, dissociation and family of origin issues are also within her experience.
Fiona believes people bring strengths to therapy and works to build on those strengths as change unfolds. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Fiona encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire to find a suitable time and approach.

Online support
Emotion and attachment-focused care online
Fiona uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions, then work with those feelings to change unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily life. This approach suits issues where understanding emotional responses matters, such as grief, intimacy concerns and relationship distress.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current reactions and connections. That work can help when people notice repeated patterns in how they relate to others or feel unsafe in close relationships. Fiona combines these with Client-Centred Therapy principles, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the person's own goals lead the work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Fiona will talk about what seems most relevant for a person's needs and preferences and adjust the focus as therapy progresses. Together they set goals and review what is helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, brief check-ins suit live chat, and text messaging can help keep momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments.
