Fiona Kennedy, BACP

Counsellor Fiona Kennedy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem and depression.

She uses a collaborative style. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage while still working toward practical change. Fiona aims to help people understand their patterns and build everyday tools they can use outside sessions.

Her practice often focuses on emotional overwhelm and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems and workplace strain. Additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and pain, and mood and panic disorders.

Fiona works from an attachment-based and client-centred perspective. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and offers a listening, person-focused approach. Conversations centre on what matters now and on small steps that help reduce distress in daily life.

Sessions may look like reflective talking, gentle challenge to unhelpful patterns, and experimenting with coping strategies between meetings. She invites people to notice patterns in thinking, feeling and relating, and to try practical approaches for change. Referral or diagnosis are not part of the description of her service here.
