About Fiona
Fiona Connell is a counsellor who uses a pluralistic approach to support people through depression and related concerns. She offers a warm, kind presence and focuses on building a trusting working relationship. Her style aims to be practical and straightforward so people can talk about what matters to them.
Fiona draws on a person-centred way of working, so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed plan.
Background and approach
She checks in regularly to see what is helpful and adjusts the work as required. This means conversations can include exploring feelings, looking at everyday routines, and trying small changes between sessions. She has three years of experience and previously worked for a mental health charity before opening a independent practice.
That background gives her familiarity with a range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and addiction. She holds the NCPS credential and uses that as her professional reference point. In sessions Fiona aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about their lives.
She is clear about boundaries and will discuss safety if there is serious risk to someone. Her manner is steady and respectful, and she focuses on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings. People who choose to work with her can expect collaborative planning and ongoing review.
The work often combines talking, practical problem solving and checking what is changing between meetings. Fiona helps people find manageable ways forward when depression or other difficult feelings make things feel heavy.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Fiona works collaboratively to decide what methods fit your goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as you progress so the approach evolves with your needs.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face to face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions are useful if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can make short check-ins easier between scheduled appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
