Fiona is an experienced, approachable psychotherapist specialising in addiction and trauma; she understands the emotional complexities of addiction and supports clients, and their families, to find positive lasting solutions with non-judgmental compassion and care.
Fiona uses Human Given psychotherapy, an approach which focuses on our emotional needs as human beings and draws on some of the best elements of approaches such as person centred therapy, CBT, NLP, ACT, trauma-informed and solution focused therapy. She is also trained in the use of the Rewind Technique for trauma/PTSD, motivational interviewing and a range of somatic, breathing & relaxation techniques, including guided imagery.
Fiona has worked within the substance misuse sector for a number of years and more recently with military veterans who have complex needs. Sessions are held gently with empathy, supporting clients on their recovery journey, providing a forum to express and process emotional distress, explore practical approaches, leaving them feeling listened to, optimistic and determined.
