About Fiona

Fiona Wallace is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She also helps with self-esteem, body image, eating and addiction concerns. Fiona highlights parenting as one area she supports, offering straightforward help for parents who are juggling competing demands.

She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Fiona works from the view that clients know their own lives best and that therapy is a collaborative effort to use existing strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to create space to step back from problems and see new options. In practice she helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck and tries simple strategies to shift those patterns. Conversations focus on small, achievable steps and on practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Fiona pays attention to how personal history and attachment can shape current relationships and feelings. She is comfortable talking about intimacy issues, LGBT matters, non-monogamous relationships and aspects of sexual culture such as kink and BDSM when these are relevant to the person she is working with.

She also supports people managing chronic pain, illness or disability and the impact these have on mood and life choices. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and Fiona aims to make that start as clear and manageable as possible.

She works collaboratively to set goals and to review progress so people know what is changing and what still needs attention.

Online support

Evidence-informed approaches for online parenting support

Fiona draws on evidence-based techniques that help people change how they respond to stress and relationships. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with panic, worry and motivation problems by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Another strand involves looking at attachment and relationship patterns to understand how early experiences shape current intimacy and communication. Working on these patterns can help someone rebuild trust, improve sexual and relational difficulties, and manage issues such as jealousy or non-monogamous arrangements.

Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. Fiona collaborates with each person to clarify goals, try methods, and adjust what she does based on feedback. The choice of techniques depends on a person’s needs, values and practical circumstances rather than a fixed formula.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people work face to face when that helps, phone calls can be useful if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties, work and other commitments.
