About Fionnuala

Fionnuala Curley welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low confidence or difficult life changes. She keeps things simple and practical so conversations feel manageable. Fionnuala writes in plain language and aims to make the first steps less daunting for someone reaching out.

Fionnuala works in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience helping people with depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting pressures and career-related stress.

Background and approach

She also supports those facing intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and feelings of isolation. Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding small, realistic steps a person can try between meetings.

She uses elements from client-centred therapy to make space for each person’s perspective and from cognitive behavioural therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Fionnuala also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns that may affect current relationships. She adapts conversations and plans to suit each person’s needs rather than using the same approach for everyone.

Practical exercises and reflective discussion are combined depending on what the person needs that week. Fionnuala aims to support people who want clearer thinking, steadier mood and better ways of coping. She encourages straightforward goals and honest conversations so progress can be tracked over time.

Approaches for online support and how they help

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space where a person can explore what matters most. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a place to make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests practical ways to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and day-to-day coping strategies.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current relationships and reactions. It can help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and find different ways forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That means the plan can change as therapy progresses and the pair will decide together what helps most.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel closer to face-to-face, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
