Fiona Kennedy , BACP

Fiona Kennedy is a counsellor who uses a calm, collaborative style to help people feel heard and understood. She holds BACP registration, and she focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions move at a pace that suits each person while still aiming for real, useful change.

She helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and with trauma and abuse. Fiona also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, and workplace pressure. Women's issues are part of her focus areas and she works with concerns that commonly affect women.

Fiona uses a mix of attachment-based and client-centred approaches. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns, and she centres the conversation on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations are practical as well as reflective, so clients leave with ways to cope between sessions.

Her work covers a wide range of challenges, including panic, social anxiety, ADHD, chronic illness and challenges around communication and boundaries. Fiona aims to build resilience, self-trust and clearer ways of relating to others.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Fiona has five years' experience and combines empathic listening with straightforward tools to make therapy useful in daily life.

Working online with attachment and client-centred approaches

Fiona offers online therapy using attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Attachment-based work looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape current patterns, helping people notice how they react in close relationships and find gentler ways of connecting. Client-centred work places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor following the person's pace and priorities to build understanding and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will talk through what you hope to change, try different ways of working, and adjust methods to match your goals and preferences. The plan grows from those conversations rather than being fixed from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when you want face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who find typing easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, and to choose the format that best supports regular contact.
