Fiona Platts uses client-centred and trauma-focused ways of working to help people handle stress, anxiety, relationship problems and grief. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. Fiona aims to make the room feel manageable and calm so conversations can unfold at a comfortable pace.

She helps people facing loss, depression, parenting strains and compassion fatigue. Fiona also supports those dealing with abuse, domestic violence, blended family issues and separation.

Background and approach

Her approach is practical and personalised - she listens first and then shapes sessions around each person’s needs. In practice she encourages people to notice patterns in thinking and behaviour that get in the way. She helps them try different ways of responding and making decisions.

Work may include talking through painful memories, building day-to-day coping skills and exploring what matters most to the person. Fiona draws on existential ideas when people struggle with meaning, direction or big life changes. She uses trauma-focused methods when painful events need careful processing.

Above all she keeps the pace gentle and respectful so people feel able to explore difficult topics. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Fiona’s style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward and regain a sense of control over everyday life.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of painful events and on step-by-step ways to reduce their impact. It aims to help people process difficult memories and build everyday coping skills for stress and flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then shape the methods together. This collaborative process helps choose the style that fits each person best.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, written reflection or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit it around work, caregiving or travel.
