About Ffyona

Ffyona Duncan is an NCPS-credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and family difficulties, and supports concerns such as self-esteem, motivation and confidence.

Ffyona sees clients as the expert in their own story and focuses on building on existing strengths. She uses conversational, client-centred methods to help people talk through what feels blocking and to identify practical next steps. Sessions aim to be direct and respectful of each person’s priorities.

Her work also covers grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and issues around intimacy and identity. She offers support with sleeping and eating problems, anger, career decisions and coping with life changes. There is additional experience addressing attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency and separation after divorce.

Ffyona draws on several approaches in her practice, including attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, Jungian ideas and mindfulness. She adapts what she uses to what a person needs in the moment rather than following a fixed plan.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps alongside reflective discussion. People meet to clarify goals, try small changes between sessions and review what helps. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then to schedule a first session.

Approach-driven online counselling and practical tools

Ffyona uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people are struggling with trust, closeness or repeating relationship problems.

She also draws on client-centred therapy, which means sessions begin from the person’s own priorities and views. That approach supports people who need to be heard and to make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used alongside these approaches to try small experiments and change unhelpful thoughts or habits. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ffyona will talk with clients about goals, explain different ways of working and agree together which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel, reduce time spent on commuting and allow quicker check-ins when a short review is needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use the flexibility of remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to match timing to everyday life.
