Rate Fiona Platts

Fiona's role in navigating years of unprocessed feelings and trauma, during a breaking-point moment and huge period of change in my personal life, has been invaluable. She has helped me understand the nature of my past hurt and work through it, understand certain behaviours of myself and others as a result of what happened, and provide frameworks and actionable steps to move on and improve how I deal with things in the future. She has also helped me to set goals with regards to what I want next in order to be in a place of good mental well-being and provided healthy coping strategies for any future triggers. Fiona is professional, understanding, kind, reliable, warm, empathetic, balanced and has good insights. She challenges perspectives when needed and listens at length to how I am feeling. On a more personal level, I have been very touched by Fiona's cultural sensitivity and curiosity; coming from a different ethnic background and having a different faith which holds an important place of my life, Fiona has taken effort to understand my values and align her therapy techniques in a way that does not conflict with religious guidance but instead incorporates it with other established mental health techniques. Fiona's work has had a positive knock on effect on many other areas of my life including my family, marriage, spirituality, personal goals and physical health. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet and benefit from Fiona's expertise and know her work has ultimately changed my life for the better.

Very good comforting to talk with

Fiona is professional, kind and effective, Im glad I reached out to find help, best thing I ever did and am very grateful to her for the support and guidance. Thank you.

Fiona is fantastic. She’s really helping me get to the root of my problems and feel understood. She provides me with a lot of materials to help on my path and I can’t recommend her enough!

Caring and understanding

Fiona has been a gentle and supportive help, offering a safe and unbiased space for me to talk and talk openly without the worry of burdening friends or family. I’ve felt comfortable enough to share with her sides or myself that I’m not proud of and she has helped me to work through some real self shame with an open mind, and analytical approach, I’d highly recommend Fiona

Is an excellent therapist who really actively listens and strives to help me find my own solutions

Fiona has been amazing, she asks questions in a way that makes me think and gain different perspectives, she's been supportive but also allowing me to draw conclusions on my own. She has helped to provide calm amongst the chaos at a very trying time in my life and I couldn't be more grateful.

Fiona has, in a short time, helped me realise some of the main reasons that I’m so unhappy and desperate at times and given me hope I might actually be able to finally change it. I know it will take time and effort but already I do feel like I’m making positive inroads towards feeling better because of her support, advice and help. Fiona is patient, focused and understands what I’m saying even when I don’t really understand it myself! She doesn’t make me feel stupid or minimise my feelings. I would highly recommend Fiona and look forward to working through my issues more with her guidance. The session each week is a non-negotiable for me now as I know it is having a positive effect on my life.

Fiona immediately helped me feel much more settled and understood during a difficult time. I really felt supported and can't thank her enough for her wisdom in helping me to navigate through the issues. Wonderful.

Working with Fiona has given me a new perspective on my problems and my identity. Having the space each week to explore my issues in a safe and supportive atmosphere is invaluable and I go away from each session feeling lighter

Fiona is fantastic. She helped me work through problems in a way where I felt safe and comfortable. She guided me and made me look at things from a completely different perspective which allowed me to deal with problems more constructively. Thank you Fiona. You’ve been amazing.

Fiona has been so so helpful. I have spent just over 3 weeks with Fiona and I always look forward to our video calls. (That’s not because I have a boring life

Will listen, and really make sure to get to the main point of what the issues are. Makes sure to persue things that are brought up to truly work out what is necessary to do, in order to help with the situation you are in. Lots of good suggestions, and is good at re phrasing the information you give, and framing it in a way that changes your perspective and helps you challenge and improve your behaviour.

In just one session, Fiona understood what felt like a complex tangle of incidents and feelings. She was gentle with her questions, inviting me to talk as much or as little as I was comfortable. I opened up more than I thought I could, and look forward to our next conversation.

Fiona is wonderful. From our very first session she made me feel heard and I felt respected. She is great during our sessions and gives me things to think about and worksheets to do which are always relevant and helpful.

Really friendly, patient and great at accommodating last minute changes!

I felt listened to and understood whilst talking to Fiona, it was nice to have someone to talk to.

I have felt comfortable, seen, respected and cared for in a professional and appropriately boundaries way by Fiona. I look forward to our sessions and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking support

Amazing therapist.
