About Fiona Austin
Fiona Austin is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 20 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and the daily pressures that make life feel heavy. She often encounters clients whose struggles show up as relationship difficulties, disrupted sleep, procrastination or low motivation, and she treats those patterns as signals that point to deeper sources of distress.
Her work focuses on clearing the decks and identifying root causes in order to promote meaningful change and forward movement rather than re-living past hurts. Sessions may include building self-esteem and confidence by uncovering existing personal resources and revisiting positive memories - a reminder that therapy can also involve strengthening what already works. Fiona helps clients translate tangled thoughts and feelings into clearer perspective, placing past experience in context while helping people shape a more manageable and hopeful present.
Fiona uses established therapeutic methods and brings a compassionate, practical approach to issues such as relationships, parenting, trauma and life transitions. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and alignment with professional standards in the UK.

Approaches for online therapy and therapeutic support
Fiona draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to support people working online. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive stance that helps clients explore their own priorities and strengths; it is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships and finding clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and motivation difficulties. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness exercises and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and help people cope with overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Fiona treats it as a collaborative conversation. She works with clients to match methods to their needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds so that each person finds what helps them most.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, and they allow registered professionals to keep continuity of care even when in-person meetings are impractical.
