About Ffyona
Ffyona Duncan is a counsellor credentialed with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and she also helps with self-esteem, motivation and confidence.
Ffyona focuses on helping people recognise their own strengths. She starts by listening to each person's story and helping them notice patterns that cause distress. She explains ideas simply and works with clients to identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centred methods that place the person’s view at the heart of the work. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping.
People bring a wide range of concerns to sessions, including grief, trauma and abuse, substance use, issues around intimacy, parenting strains and codependency. Ffyona also addresses problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career stress and adjustments after separation or divorce.
She values clear, down-to-earth conversations and practical follow-up between appointments. If someone wants help to set boundaries, manage anxiety, or rethink patterns that revolve around other people, she offers a steady, collaborative way to work through those issues.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to explore priorities and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people notice recurring relationship patterns and practise different ways of relating. Client-centred work focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. In online sessions this means the counsellor follows the client's lead and helps clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy teaches ways to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; online sessions often include short exercises and practical homework between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and together they review what is helping and what might need to shift.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed, and they can avoid needing to be on camera if that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises to work over remote sessions so practical change can be pursued alongside conversation.
