In Fiona’s work as a counsellor/psychotherapist, her approach is Rogerian person-centered. Ensuring the comfort, safety, and confidentiality of her clients is a top priority. Through this approach, she has developed deep working relationships with her clients, to offer support and guidance in the many trials we face in life.
Her person-centric approach comes from her own experience, over twenty years of qualified teaching, counselling, and training in Ireland, Singapore, Germany, China, the United Kingdom, and beyond. She holds a Master’s Degree and a Diploma in Counselling. Her experience living overseas, and encountering people with difficulties from all walks of life, is the unique foundation of her work.
The method she uses for her counselling work is integrative. She tailors her strategy and approach specially to the issues facing each client, for example by assessing and delivering interventions. Psycho-education is something she values highly and personally believes in––it’s also a part of the service she offers.
Her experience is singular as she has lived many lives. She has been an expat and a local, a compassionate counsellor, a psycho-educator in the corporate world, and a mother. This patchwork of empathy informs the integrative approach she has taken to her professional life.
In order to bolster her experiences, she has acquired many certifications to assist with her treatments of (including, but not limited to): relationship problems, family issues, self-esteem, trauma, stress and anger management, marital therapy, adolescent counselling, parenting issues, depression and anxiety. Below listed are some of the latest trainings she has certified in:
