Fiona Waddle , BACP

Fiona Waddle is a UK-based therapist with seven years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She has worked across hospice settings, a wellbeing clinic and in private practice, supporting people through relationship difficulties, the effects of trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges and major life changes.

Her practice is integrative and grounded in a person-centered approach that prioritises listening and empathic understanding. She blends elements of trauma-informed work, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and aspects of attachment theory to tailor therapy to each person. This flexible approach helps when addressing issues such as abandonment and attachment problems, body image concerns, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, domestic violence, eating and food-related problems, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and family or separation-related challenges.

Fiona also delivers psychoeducational and therapeutic groupwork with a national UK charity supporting people affected by domestic abuse. Her background in Fine Art and participatory community work informs a creative, relational style that values practical coping skills and emotional awareness. Away from clinical work she enjoys walking in nature with her adopted rescue greyhound. She offers sessions by video, telephone and text-based messaging.
