About Ffyona
Ffyona Duncan is a counsellor registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and family concerns, and also supports people with self-esteem, motivation and confidence.
Ffyona describes her approach as one that starts from the person’s own story. She sees clients as the experts in their lives and draws on their existing strengths when addressing current problems. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer ways of understanding recurring patterns in relationships and family life.
She uses methods from attachment-based work and client-centred practice to explore how early relationships shape present reactions. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when clients want direct strategies to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness techniques may be introduced to help with stress, sleep and grounding.
Many people come to her with issues around parenting, blended family tensions, or family of origin difficulties. She also has experience supporting those facing addiction, grief, trauma, fertility and intimacy concerns. Where more specialist input is needed, she helps people think through next steps and options.
Ffyona aims for clear, plain conversation in sessions. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and works with clients to set small, achievable steps between meetings. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How sessions work
Approach in online sessions and how it helps
Ffyona combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and can help when family tensions or recurring relationship problems are present. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and reflecting so a person’s own priorities guide the work and practical goals are agreed together. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking, such as breaking down problems into steps and testing different responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to decide what techniques to try, based on the issues, goals and what feels manageable. That shared planning means sessions can change over time as priorities shift. The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around parenting, work and other daily demands. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for using audio rather than video if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and tasks so therapy fits into everyday life.Areas of focus
