Fiona Waddle

Fiona Waddle is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience working in hospice care, a wellbeing clinic and private practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are facing relationship difficulties, the impact of trauma and abuse, grief and parenting strains, and those coping with major life changes. Fiona names life purpose among the concerns she supports people with. She works from a person-centred base and brings together several approaches in session. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed. Solution-focused techniques aim to identify small, practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Trauma-focused methods are included when past events are affecting day-to-day life. Fiona has experience delivering therapeutic and psychoeducational groupwork for a national UK charity supporting people affected by domestic abuse. She keeps regular professional supervision and follows the BACP Ethical Framework. Her background in fine art and participatory community work shapes how she practices. Fiona has seen how creative activities can prompt useful conversations, and she sometimes draws on creative methods alongside talking. She also lists work influenced by attachment ideas and CBT-related skills in her approach. Practical details: sessions are held in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time; the cost varies with location.

How Fiona uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Fiona draws on person-centred practice alongside other methods so the focus stays on what the client brings. Client-Centred Therapy involves listening without judgment and helping people reflect on their own concerns; it suits those who need space to speak and be heard. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety or grief. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, small steps and on building what already works, which can be useful for career doubts, parenting challenges and feeling stuck. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will discuss what feels most useful in early sessions and adjust the mix of methods as needs, goals and preferences become clearer. Clients influence the pace and the focus rather than having a fixed programme imposed on them. Practical online considerations should be confirmed before booking since the biography notes she provides video, telephone and text sessions. If you need shorter check-ins, phone or text can be arranged. Video sessions may allow more interactive exercises and a fuller conversation. Ask about the session format that fits your everyday routine and technological setup before scheduling so sessions can be arranged to fit around work, family and other commitments.
