About Fionnuala
Fionnuala uses a mix of Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she focuses on clear conversation about what is causing distress. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, patterns in relationships, and feelings that keep recurring.
Her practical approach means sessions typically involve talking through recent problems, looking at how thoughts and behaviour connect, and reflecting on past experiences that affect current choices. She encourages small, doable adjustments that can make daily life feel less overwhelming.
Fionnuala also supports people with intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and topics such as codependency, commitment concerns, isolation and life purpose. She works with fertility and fatherhood issues, blended family difficulties, and ageing or geriatric concerns when these are part of a person's story.
People who come because they feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next will find a counsellor who aims to be straightforward and practical. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching and booking steps to arrange a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Fionnuala draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people speak about what matters to them; it can help when someone is unsure about their next step. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as sessions progress.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family and other commitments and avoiding travel time. If quieter surroundings or being off camera helps, mention that when you book. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how you will meet and what to expect.
