About Fiona

Fiona Platts works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns. She uses client-centred, existential and trauma-focused approaches and has three years of experience working with clients in the UK. Fiona is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Fiona frames sessions around what each person brings. She prioritises listening and helps clients look at their situation from different angles. This can mean talking through patterns in relationships, how loss affects daily life, or ways to reduce ongoing stress. Sessions move at a pace the client finds manageable.

Her work includes helping with parenting pressures, blended family issues and caregiver stress. Fiona also addresses body image, codependency, communication problems and anger. She regularly works with people coping with divorce, domestic violence and family of origin issues.

Trauma-focused work is offered for those who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events. Fiona aims to help people find practical ways to cope with flashbacks, difficult memories and strong emotions. She combines that with client-centred conversations that put the person’s goals first.

Fiona has three years of client work across private practice and online settings. She describes her approach as collaborative and often uses reflections and questions to help people clarify what they want from counselling. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Fiona works using Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and goals, using reflective listening and open questions to help clarify what matters most. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses responses to traumatic events and aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and reactions through paced, focused work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and decide collaboratively which methods fit best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed.

The biography records online experience but does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow sessions from familiar surroundings. They can also be arranged to suit shorter check-ins or longer therapies, depending on what the client needs.
