Fiona Wetherell

My available hours are flexible, I offer face to face counselling in Folkestone or Hawkinge, on -line counselling and walk and talk therapy.

Hello, my name is Fiona and I offer face to face counselling sessions from a comfortable room in both Folkestone and Hawkinge. I also offer telephone or zoom counselling and walk and talk therapy. I am a qualified and experienced counsellor. My main area of experience has been with the rape crisis centre working with men, women and children who have suffered rape or sexual abuse.

My training was integrative meaning that I can draw upon different theories to tailor my approach to suit you. However, the most important aspect for me is the therapeutic relationship which I believe enables you to explore, in a safe and contained way, those thoughts and feelings which may be troubling you and to gently discover the origin of these through looking at early life experiences. A shared understanding of any difficulties you may be experiencing may help you to  identify patterns of behaviour and see the way to make changes. I work towards offering you warmth and empathy and a safe non-judgmental space within which to make sense of your thoughts and feelings. 

Sessions are normally 50 minutes long and I have a flexible approach so that you can decide whether to see me weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It is important that you feel comfortable working with me and I aim to offer you a space where you will be properly heard and understood. 

I offer a free initial session, usually about 30 minutes long, either face to face or on the telephone during which we can discuss your requirements and I can explain the way I work which will enable you to make an informed choice as to whether I am the right therapist for you.
