About Fiona Waddle
Fiona Waddle is a UK-based psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. Over seven years she has worked across a hospice, a wellbeing clinic and in private practice, supporting people facing relationship difficulties, the impact of trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief and loss, anxiety and persistent self-doubt.
She aims to provide an open, understanding and safe space where complicated thoughts and emotions can be explored and better understood. Beginning therapy can take courage and energy, and Fiona focuses on creating an experience that feels manageable and helpful for each person she works with.
Her approach is integrative and person-centered, drawing on client-centered principles while incorporating mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused work to suit each client’s needs. This flexible blend allows her to respond to issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, and the emotional effects of separation or domestic violence.
Alongside individual work, Fiona delivers therapeutic and psychoeducational group programs for a national UK charity supporting people who have experienced domestic abuse. Her professional practice is informed by ongoing supervision and continuing development.
Fiona’s path to counselling began with a degree in Fine Art and participatory community arts work, where creative activity often opened space for people to share personal thoughts and feelings. Outside of practice she spends time with family and friends and enjoys walking in natural places with her adopted rescue greyhound. She provides sessions in English and offers a range of remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, though she is not currently accepting new clients.

Could Remote Therapy Be the Right Choice?
Many people ask whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and adapting to life changes - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many people.One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
Therapists offering remote work are licensed professionals who use a variety of therapeutic approaches. Many people find that online formats still allow for meaningful connection, practical problem solving and emotional support. If the fit with a particular therapist does not feel right, it is generally possible to seek a different therapist to find the best match for individual needs.
