About Fiona

Fiona Brown is an AASW counsellor with seven years' experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship tensions. She approaches therapy with straightforward care and a focus on what matters day to day. Fiona speaks English and works from Australia. She encourages people who feel unsure about starting to take the first step.

Fiona uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to build a trusting space where people can tell their story. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help shift unhelpful thinking and reduce overwhelming feelings. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs, with attention to small, achievable changes.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, parenting questions, family conflict and grief. She also supports people dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue, codependency and challenges around intimacy and communication. Fiona has experience with ADHD, bipolar and co-morbidity, and with issues linked to adoption, foster care and attachment.

People often come to Fiona for help with confidence, motivation and coping through life changes. She uses emotionally-focused methods when relationships are central, and motivational interviewing ideas to support change. The emphasis is on collaboration - the client sets goals and Fiona helps map the steps toward them.

Fiona recommends selecting the Start Therapy button to begin. A short matching questionnaire is used to connect people and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription can be cancelled at any time.

How Fiona's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions; online sessions can use this approach to look at relationship themes and build new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's own goals and uses listening, reflection and gentle questioning to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments and practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Fiona will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can be adjusted as progress is made or circumstances change.

The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking. Ask about the current options when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to continue therapy through life changes while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical steps.
