Fiona Austin , BACP

Fiona Austin is a therapist who specialises in helping people manage stress, anxiety and the sense of overwhelm that can make everyday life feel heavy. With 20 years of experience, she often sees how these difficulties ripple outward into relationships, sleep patterns, motivation and procrastination, and she works to identify those connections so clients can move forward rather than remain caught by past triggers.

Her approach focuses on clearing away the clutter that obscures what matters most - practical change is the goal, alongside a fuller sense of wellbeing in the present. Sessions frequently include work to strengthen self-esteem and confidence by uncovering personal resources and revisiting positive memories - a reminder that therapy can also be about the good things people carry with them.

Fiona describes the process as translating tangled thoughts and feelings so that the past can be seen in perspective and the future feels more attainable. Along the way she aims to make the here and now feel lighter and more peaceful. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers a blended approach that addresses issues from relationship and family difficulties to trauma, parenting, career and life purpose.
