Fiona Pope

I am available on Mondays between 9am and 6pm.

Hello, I'm Fiona. I have 20 years of working as a counsellor / psychotherapist and I have experience of supporting others to improve their mental health, relationships and quality of life.

I provide counselling and psychotherapy sessions for individuals in-person or online. Sessions take place weekly.

In-person sessions take place at The Practice Rooms on the High Street in Tunbridge Wells. The Practice Rooms offer a peaceful, light and welcoming environment and are well served by public transport, parking and other amenities.

There are times in life when we may need input from someone outside our immediate circle of family and friends, to help us address what is challenging us.

- You may be feeling low, anxious or stressed?

- It might be you are having challenges in your relationships with others - your partner, family, friends or people at work. Perhaps you find yourself frustrated or snappy or overlooked. Or you find it hard to connect with others and feel isolated or alone.

- You may be effected by physical symptoms - like fatigue, insomnia or a change in appetite - that you suspect are linked in some way to your mood.

- And many people struggle after a loss - a job, a relationship, a miscarriage or the death of a loved one - to name a few.

Navigating these, and similar issues, can feel challenging and overwhelming at times. But tackling them with someone else to support you can make them more manageable.

I provide and safe, non judgemental space where you can express your thoughts and feelings and talk about what is going on.

 Through our work together we will gain a deeper understanding of the issues you are dealing with and consider new approaches that support you better as you move forward.

In our initial meeting, we will reflect on what has led you to seek support and the emotional, mental, physical and practical  challenges you are facing in your life. 

I will let you know more about the type of counselling and psychotherapy I provide and we can explore how we might work together going forwards. 

(If I do not feel I am the best person to work with you, I will provide you with other options where you can access suitable support.)

Please contact me to discuss your training needs, possible dates and fees in more detail.

Are you a member of an organisation committed to the development, wellbeing and upskilling its people?

I provide training for staff and volunteers working in third sector organisations. 

This training might form part of a team meeting or it can be delivered separately as a dedicated training event.

Examples of recent trainings include:

- An Introduction to Counselling Skills - for non counselling staff working in a helping capacity

- Bereavement and Loss Training - for a local counselling service

- Exploring Loneliness - for a local hospice

Please contact me to discuss your needs in more detail.

The trainings I develop and deliver are tailored to the specific needs of an organisation. Typically they will include PowerPoint presentations, experiential exercises, video clips, creative activities and role play / practical work in triads.

Some feedback from previous participants are shown below:

鈥淏eautifully paced, perfect balance between exercises, PowerPoint discussion and breaks. A difficult subject approached with sensitivity and thoughtfulness.鈥�

Trainings are tailored to the specific needs of an organisation or audience.

Please contact me to discuss your needs in more detail.

I am available on Mondays and Tuesdays between 9am and 6pm.

I have over 12 years experience as a supervisor, working in organisations, private practice and counselling / psychotherapy trainings.

My therapeutic model is integrative and informed by attachment principles which supports a variety of therapeutic approaches.

I have a relational focus and work with therapists to create a safe space in which they can reflect candidly on their clinical work. I foster an environment that supports their wellbeing and opportunities for expansion and clinical growth.

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Supervision of Individuals and a Diploma in Group Supervision both of which which meet the rigorous supervision training standards set out by the 麻豆原创.

I work with individuals and groups, qualified and trainee therapists.

As my focus is on a relational approach, I prefer to work on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

We can discuss your needs and what is right for you during an initial meeting.

I offer in person and online supervision sessions. 

In person sessions are held at The Practice Rooms on the High Street In Tunbridge Wells which is well served by public transport, parking and other amenities. 

The Practice Rooms offer a peaceful, light and welcoming environment as well as the opportunity to feel part of a therapeutic community.
