Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Fiona often draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s priorities guide the work and personal insight is encouraged. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify their values and develop flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach Fiona integrates when helpful - it looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies for coping and problem solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Fiona treats that as a collaborative process. She assesses each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and works together with clients to decide which techniques and perspectives will best support their aims.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow Fiona and clients to work together across distances and life circumstances, supporting access to licensed professionals and therapists without the need for travel.
