Fionnuala CurleyBACP

Fionnuala Curley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She works with clients facing relationship and family tensions, grief, parenting strains and the pressures that come with life changes. With three years of professional experience and BACP registration, she aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone thinking about therapy.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, using straightforward conversation rather than jargon. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Fionnuala combines client-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. That means she listens for your priorities, looks at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and considers how past experiences shape current patterns. Together you can build practical changes and make sense of deeper emotional themes.

She adapts the pace and methods to each person. Some people work on problem-solving and new routines, while others look more at relationships and early life influences. Fionnuala aims to create a tailored plan that fits your goals and circumstances.

Starting therapy often feels daunting. She focuses on supporting and empowering people through that process, helping them find clearer direction and small, achievable steps forward.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor prioritises what you want to work on and follows your lead. Sessions aim to make you feel heard and supported while you decide the goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It suits people who want practical tools to manage everyday problems. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings and relationships; it can help when themes keep repeating across different areas of life.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest a blend of methods. You can try an approach and then change course if it does not feel right; the process is collaborative rather than fixed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to attend from different locations. It can reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available formats before booking.
