Hi, I’m Fiona, thanks for checking me out. I’m a warm and friendly relational therapist, working online and face-to-face from my counselling room in Hoylake, on the Wirral. I was late diagnosed ADHD with autistic traits in my late fifties, as I was training to be a psychotherapist, and went to therapy myself to work out what this meant for me. So I understand how it can be to feel different, from the earliest of times, to not fit in, or not have ‘the rule book’ of life.
If you are on the pathway, or newly diagnosed, having a neurodivergent therapist is so important for your journey – you don’t need to explain yourself to me, or justify anything in your life, there is no shame or guilting from me (as I definitely have been there and got the T-shirt!). I’m here to help you explore what diagnosis might mean for you, to help you make sense of it all, and focus on what your needs are, going forward in life.

I also offer Internal Family Systems (IFS), a compassionate and effective therapy that helps people understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves. IFS recognises that we have inner parts that hold emotions, memories, and protective roles. By approaching these parts with curiosity and care, it’s possible to gently resolve trauma, intrusive memories, and patterns that you may have believed are stuck forever. This process can be deeply transformative.

I can also support you if you’re living with chronic health conditions, have experienced childhood or relationship trauma, and if you’re recovering from coercive control or abuse. Being neurodivergent can make us vulnerable to workplace abuse and bullying; if this is you, I can help you work through this horrible experience and regain your self-confidence.

My work is always guided by curiosity, respect, and the belief that every person has an inner capacity for healing. In therapy, we work together as a team, and you are in control of what happens at each stage.
