A confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
Welcome and thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Fiona Harnett and I offer counselling from a therapy room in Aylesbury town centre.
I also offer home visits; walk and talk therapy and online sessions.
Counselling and therapy in a safe, comfortable and private setting
I am a fully qualified counsellor and I have trained in both Gestalt and Person-centred modalities. I endeavour to meet and understand every client's unique experience of the world, tailoring a personal approach to your therapeutic journey which embraces the authentic you.
I have worked in the NHS as a bereavement counsellor and also work for a low cost counselling service where I see both long-term and short-term clients.
I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment. Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives and perhaps a new understanding of yourself. Counselling is not about giving you solutions or advice but empowering you to make your own changes.
I work with adults and young people (11-18 years) from all walks of life, coming to me with a diverse range of problems. As a fully-qualified counsellor I am a member of both the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and also the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and I abide by their ethical codes. I am insured and have full DBS clearance.
Speak in confidence
Counselling takes place in a safe space where I will listen with sensitivity, empathy and without judgement. In the therapy space, thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.
A problem shared...
Trouble with a relationship; anxiety or panic attacks; mood swings or depression. Many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Counselling gives us a new awareness of the cause of these problems and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.
Make healthier choices
Working together I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do and see how you can start to make healthier choices moving forward.
What issues can counselling help with?
