Fiona Herbert

I work 2 late evenings per week and Mondays and Wednesdays as well as regular office hours during the week. 

I can be flexible with timings however and am happy to work together to find suitable session times for you. 

I provide individual, couple and family therapy to adults, adolescents and children challenged by a variety of issues. This may include but is not limited to parenting, relationships, behavioural issues, substance abuse, depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, loss, trauma and educational issues.

I enjoy using an integrated strengths based approach which is family and systemically applied to enable a holistic understanding of the issues. I use a wide range of therapeutic modalities but I am particularly interested in solution focused, narrative, expressive, ACT and experiential therapies. I am also trained in EMDR, Gottman method couples therapy and Emotion focused couples therapy.

I am also open to facilitating workshops and group work for professionals, children and parents. As a Social Worker, I have experience of completing expert witness reports, international adoption home studies and assessments on children both in Hong Kong and the UK. 

I really love what I do and hope I can support you and your family, one change at a time

I tend to use the first session to really connect with the client. This process is led by the client, but essentially I work hard to understand their reasons for seeking therapy at this time, as well as what issues they are facing. I may also elicit what types of support they may have previously accessed. 

I will also endeavour to better understand expectations and hopes of the therapeutic process. I tend to do this mainly through talking and listening, though I am able to use expressive therapies as well if there are difficulties communicating verbally. I may also discuss ethical issues such as confidentiality to ensure that the client feels comfortable with the entire process.
