About Fiona
Fiona Brown is an AASW clinician with seven years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She works with individuals who are navigating grief, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Fiona takes a warm, down-to-earth approach and encourages people to use their own strengths as they make changes.
Her practice often addresses parenting questions, family conflict and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and major life changes. Fiona lists adoption and foster care among her focus areas and helps people consider attachment and family-of-origin patterns when relevant.
In sessions she blends client-centred listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and mindful practices to help people notice patterns and try different ways of relating. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and aim to build small, manageable steps.
Fiona has worked across a range of concerns including compassion fatigue, first responder issues, ADHD, bipolar and depression. She pays attention to overlapping difficulties such as co-morbidity, codependency and dissociation. Her style is collaborative - she asks questions, reflects back what she hears and helps people make choices about next steps.
Taking the first step can feel hard and Fiona acknowledges that courage. She invites people to start by sharing what matters most and then shapes the process around individual goals and preferences.
How Fiona’s approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people relate, where trust is easier or harder, and helps people try different ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-focused, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with core emotions in the context of important relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss what fits your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try one approach or combine methods based on how you respond and what feels most useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep therapy going when schedules change, while the therapist helps adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to suit each person's everyday routine.
