Fiona Kennedy, BACP

Fiona Kennedy is a BACP registered counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk things through. She works at a pace that suits the individual and focuses on steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, and workplace difficulties. Fiona includes addictions, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and isolation in her practice.

Her style draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas. Sessions are collaborative and start from the person’s experience. Conversations aim to build understanding and to identify simple steps a person can use between sessions.

Fiona has five years of professional experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She combines reflective listening with practical tools so people can test new ways of coping in daily life.

People who come for therapy with her often want clearer emotional boundaries, better self-trust, or relief from overwhelming feelings. She helps with anger, panic, chronic health strain, shame and loneliness by focusing on what feels manageable and relevant in the here and now.

How attachment and client-centred work translate online

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how they shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people notice how early connections influence current stress, anxiety or intimacy-related problems and try new ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and the person’s own goals. In this style the counsellor follows the person’s pace and reflections, helping them make sense of difficult emotions and decide what practical steps to try outside sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose or combine methods together. This collaboration helps ensure the chosen way of working feels useful and realistic.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent when travel is difficult. Online sessions can make it easier to have a shorter check-in, avoid camera use if preferred, or schedule appointments around work or childcare. Confirm the exact session options before booking so arrangements match personal needs.
