Fiona Kennedy, BACP

Fiona Kennedy offers a warm, collaborative counselling approach that centres on the relationship between counsellor and client. She uses listening and gentle reflection to help people feel understood and to work through difficult emotions. Fiona keeps the pace steady and practical, aiming for change that fits each person’s life.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment, or repeating painful dynamics. Fiona also uses client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and encourage self-acceptance.

Fiona works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and grief. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, workplace issues, and problems with intimacy or relationships. Additional areas include ADHD, chronic illness and bereavement-related difficulties.

Her style balances empathy with clear, practical steps. Conversations often move between understanding feelings and trying small experiments to change everyday habits. Fiona aims to help people build resilience, manage overwhelming moments, and regain a sense of direction.

Fiona holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. She has five years of clinical experience and works with people across the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How attachment and person-centred work online

Fiona uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can explore patterns of trust, abandonment and connection while helping people notice how those patterns turn up in everyday life.

She also practises client-centred therapy, which means conversations focus on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach helps build self-acceptance and clearer personal goals, and it fits well with reflective video or chat sessions where the therapist follows the client’s lead.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Fiona will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. Collaboration helps decide whether attachment-focused work or client-centred exploration, or a blend, is most helpful.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments.
