About Ffyona
Ffyona Duncan is a counsellor who draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people feel steadier in their relationships and everyday life. She holds NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the UK. She aims to offer calm, practical support when things feel overwhelming and knows small steps can make a big difference.
She works with stress, anxiety and low mood, and with issues around self-esteem and motivation. Relationship and family concerns are central to her practice, including separation, blended family challenges and codependency. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction and issues around intimacy and sexual identity.
In sessions she treats the person, not just the problem. That means listening, reflecting and helping people spot patterns that keep them stuck. She uses plain language and simple tools from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches when they fit the situation.
Ffyona encourages clients to use their own strengths to guide change. Therapy often involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new ways of relating, and practising small experiments between sessions. She describes the process as collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Her background includes work with family-of-origin difficulties, domestic violence and addictions, and she can support people coping with life changes like divorce or fertility struggles. Sessions are offered in English and she works from within the United Kingdom.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Ffyona uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour now; this helps when codependency, trust or repeated relationship hurts are a concern. She also draws on client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, validation and following the person’s priorities so they feel heard and understood.She may bring in cognitive behavioural techniques too, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping. These methods are practical and suit problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree which ideas to try first, adjust things as needed, and set goals that fit the client’s life and preferences. Clients are invited to feed back about what helps and what does not.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate online work for shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or childcare, and the chance to continue momentum when life feels hectic.
