More about Fiona

I am a Registered Social Worker, passionate about the power of counselling, I am committed to offering kind, compassionate and effective services. Personally counselling has been profoundly helpful in my own healing journey, and I wish to offer this support to others.


I was born in England and moved to Canada in 2011 (after falling in love with a Canadian), while my English roots run deep, Canada is now home for me. I have over a decades experience working in healthcare in a variety of settings including hospital, hospice, peoples homes, and community mental health.


I work with adults (age 19 +), in person in Yellow Point by the ocean, on trails in Cedar, and virtually throughout BC.


In my spare time you will find me playing with my children, tending to my chickens and ducks, walking my dog on local trails and looking for mushrooms, going to concerts with friends, and learning something new.
I would be honored to support you on your healing journey.

My Approach

I have a degree in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work.
I am trained in the below counselling modalities:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Somatic Therapy
Mindfulness

 

I use an anti-oppressive, intersectional feminism and Heath At Every Size (HAES) approach.  I pull from these trainings and approaches to support you in a trauma informed and strengths based way. This holistic focus facilitates meaningful change and growth by attending to the mind, body, emotions and spirit. Nature can be a grounding supportive environment for this healing work, I offer services on the forested trails, and by the ocean, as well as virtually.

Who I Work With

I work with adults aged 19 + with anxiety, depression, body image concerns and overwhelm.  I specialize in providing support navigating life transitions such as pregnancy, motherhood, parenting, grief and loss.  I also specialize in supporting adults with binge eating. 

I help you to move towards your authentic self, peeling away trauma, life experiences, and false beliefs that are holding you back, supporting you to move forward in a way that is meaningful to you.

"My life experiences and personal work has deepened my understanding of myself and the benefits of therapy. I am compassionate, curious and here to facilitate your growth and empowerment."
