About Ffyona

Ffyona Duncan helps people work on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She uses approaches that centre the person's experience and draws on three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She is registered with NCPS.

Ffyona focuses on everyday problems such as motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She talks things through with people so they can spot patterns that make life harder and try different ways of coping. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with clear steps to test between meetings.

Her work often looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. Cognitive behavioural methods help identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change mood and behaviour.

She also draws on client-centred and narrative perspectives to keep the person’s experience central. This means conversations stay focused on what matters to the individual and on their own story. Mindfulness elements are introduced to help with anxiety, sleep and coping with life changes.

Ffyona has worked with a range of concerns including addiction, trauma, grief, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and bipolar-related issues. She also supports people with family of origin problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and fertility-related distress.

People meet her to tackle anger, career stress, isolation, jealousy and issues around gender dysphoria and LGBT matters. To begin, she asks about goals and current difficulties so the sessions stay focused on practical progress.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and separation. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns in how someone describes their relationships and to practise new ways of relating between meetings.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In sessions the counsellor listens for what matters most to the individual and follows their pace to set goals and next steps.

Cognitive behavioural work helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. This approach is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and coaching around practical life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of future sessions.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also suits quieter conversations where being on camera is not required. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to maintain continuity of support and to work on behavioural experiments between meetings.
