About Fiona
Fiona Platts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She draws on three years of direct client work to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and depression. Fiona aims to offer calm, practical help so people can find their own way forward.
She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's experience first. Sessions are shaped around what matters to the individual, with pace and focus guided by the client's needs.
Background and approach
Fiona also brings existential ideas into conversations, helping people reflect on meaning, choices and direction when life feels uncertain. Trauma-focused approaches are included where past harm is getting in the way of daily life. Fiona works gently with memories, reactions and coping patterns so people can begin to feel less overwhelmed by what happened.
She adapts the work to suit each person's rhythm and tolerance. Practical concerns such as parenting strains, blended family issues, caregiver stress, body image and communication problems are commonly discussed. Fiona also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence histories, and the emotional fallout from loss and change.
Sessions are offered online through video, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different needs. Fiona encourages small steps, realistic goals and clear next actions so people leave with something they can try between sessions.

Approaches that shape online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience. The therapist gives space for the individual to lead the conversation while offering reflection and clarification. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, respectful space to talk through parenting pressures, relationship worries or low mood.Existential therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and responsibility. It is useful when life changes or uncertainty trigger questions about direction and values. These conversations can help people consider new ways of living that fit their priorities.
Trauma-focused work looks specifically at how past harm affects current feelings and behaviour. It involves working carefully with memories and reactions so people can reduce overwhelm and find more adaptive ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals and comfort levels. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat allows written reflection between appointments. These options increase flexibility and make regular contact more manageable for people juggling parenting and work.
