About Fiona
Counsellor Fiona Hazelden is a BACP member with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those dealing with addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD. Fiona practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Fiona focuses on clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts what happens in sessions to the issues named by the person in front of her. Expect practical discussion about symptoms, coping strategies and how daily life is affected.
Her background includes long-term work with people who have experienced loss, trauma, or ongoing stress. Fiona describes her approach as respectful and sensitive, and she aims to work through practical steps for change rather than relying on jargon. Sessions will look at thinking patterns, emotional responses and behaviours connected to the presenting problem.
Fiona is able to work with a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, anger, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and some chronic health related stress. She also lists additional focuses such as attachment and adoption, body image, codependency and dissociation. Where more specialist input is needed she will help identify next steps.
Therapy with Fiona uses a subscription billing model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Fiona draws on evidence-based approaches to help people manage distress. One common focus is working with thinking patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms; this involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. She also uses trauma-informed techniques to help people process painful events and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to fit the person's goals and preferences. The first sessions are used to agree priorities and try different ways of working together before settling on a plan.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also let someone connect from a different location if they live abroad, since she accepts international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that remote work helps people sustain regular appointments while balancing other commitments.
