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 people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem and motivation. Anger is included among the concerns she addresses.
Ffyona invites clients to talk through practical problems and everyday frustrations. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and focus on real-life changes rather than jargon.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape present reactions. She also uses client-centred methods to keep sessions paced around the client's concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is part of the toolbox for tackling unhelpful thinking and behaviours step by step.
Ffyona also incorporates elements of mindfulness and narrative approaches when they suit the client's goals. These methods can help with rumination, intrusive thoughts, and patterns that feed anger or anxiety. She explains techniques clearly and works with clients to try them out between sessions.
People who come for support may be dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy issues, sleep or eating difficulties, career stress, ADHD or other life changes. Ffyona also addresses attachment and family of origin issues, codependency and separation concerns. She asks practical questions early on to set clear goals and measure progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. Online sessions can use this perspective to notice interaction styles, stuck responses and ways of connecting differently with others.Client-centred practice puts the client's agenda first. The counsellor listens and follows what the client brings, adjusting pace and focus to what feels most relevant. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ffyona will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try first based on their goals and life situation. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses and techniques are adapted to what helps most.
