Ffyona Duncan, NCPS

Ffyona Duncan is a counsellor credentialed with NCPS who works from a strengths-based perspective. She draws on three years of professional experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and family conflict. She also supports people struggling with motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

Ffyona starts by listening to each person's story and treating them as the expert on their own life. She focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. The aim is to build small, steady changes that add up over time.

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural tools. That mix is used to address issues such as trauma, grief, addictions and intimacy concerns. Jungian and mindfulness perspectives also inform conversations when exploring deeper patterns and present-moment coping.

Ffyona has worked with people across a range of concerns including sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around ADHD, gender dysphoria, infertility-related stress and problems linked to family of origin.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. She believes change takes courage and aims to empower people to make choices that match their values and goals. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change repeated relational reactions. Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and building a non-judgemental space where a person can talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances to decide which combination of methods fits best. This means adjusting the plan as work proceeds if different techniques prove more useful.

If you are enquiring about online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into busy days more easily, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate not needing to be on camera for a session or choosing a time that suits work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to make therapy more practical to maintain alongside everyday life.
