Fiona Whiteman
As an experienced counsellor, I offer a safe and creative space for clients to discover new ways to cope with or change those aspects of their lives that are distressing or unsatisfying. I believe that gaining a better understanding of ourselves, with all our vulnerabilities and strengths, can help us make choices that serve us better and strengthen our ability to meet life's challenges.
My core training is psychodynamic - I believe that having an awareness of where our present behaviour has been unconsciously influenced by past experiences frees up more choices and helps us to avoid repeating patterns of behaviour that end up causing us pain. I also draw on techniques from post-qualification workshops and training in, for example, trauma therapy and CBT skills.
