Fiona Waddle, BACP

Fiona Waddle brings seven years of clinical experience to her counselling work in the United Kingdom. She holds a BA (Hons) and a postgraduate diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Fiona aims to make the first steps into therapy as gentle and practical as possible for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

Fiona helps people facing relationship difficulties, the impact of trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting strains, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, body image worries, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control issues.

Her practice is grounded in a person-centred foundation. She draws on mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused approaches alongside the client-centred base to meet each person where they are. Sessions are conversational and paced by the client, with practical ideas offered when useful.

Fiona has worked in hospices, a wellbeing clinic and independent practice, and she also delivers therapeutic groupwork with a national UK charity supporting people affected by domestic abuse. She keeps her practice aligned with the BACP Ethical Framework and attends regular supervision and ongoing professional development.

Outside of work she enjoys time with family and walks in nature with her adopted rescue greyhound. Readers who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How Fiona’s approaches can work online

Fiona uses a person-centred base alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions concentrate on the person’s experience and what matters most to them, helping people feel heard and understood. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals rather than focusing only on problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Fiona will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable, and then shape the way she works to fit those preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The therapist's profile notes video, telephone and text sessions are offered. Please confirm the exact session options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, save travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need sessions that better match their day-to-day routine.
