Regardless of where you are right now, your feelings and your needs are important.
Fiona is a qualified therapist based in Greenwich Borough who facilitates both face to face and online sessions. As an experienced, HCPC registered therapist she offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space for clients to explore different aspects of their lives and themselves. Her methods include creative, psychodynamic, and person-centred approaches that allow clients to dictate the pace and content of the sessions. Clients also benefit from her knowledge and experience of mindfulness, meditation, Gestalt and CBT techniques. Fiona works with individuals, groups, and families and has experience in several settings and organisations, as well as working in private practice. All age groups are welcome from young children to adults.
Talking therapy, story work, artwork, mindfulness, meditation, creative visualisation, journaling, script writing (along with many other forms of writing), improvisation, movement, play and mask work are just some of the different activities and methods available to explore your inner and outer worlds. There will never be any pressure to use any of these methods either.
Additionally, Fiona now offers outdoor therapy. This involves meeting for sessions in appropriate outdoor settings. This type of approach may suit those who love being outside in nature, those who prefer being outdoors owing to Covid, as well as those wanting to explore outdoor therapy for a number of different reasons.
Fiona is a qualified teacher and works with children and adolescents to help them to overcome barriers to learning. Her background includes working with young people who experience emotional and mental health difficulties, as well as those with special educational needs. She set up and ran a school therapeutic service for almost a decade and has extensive experience working with children of all ages in school, charitable organisations, NHS settings and private practice. Her educational portfolio includes Senior and Middle Management roles, along with Assistant Senco. She is a revision coach and offers tutoring as well.
Reiki is another modality that Fiona offers in her practice.
Fiona is a published writer and believes in the healing power of stories and their uncanny ability to reach out to us when we need them the most.
