About Ffyona

Ffyona Duncan is a counsellor who uses a people-focused approach to help clients untangle stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She emphasises a respectful, collaborative style and works from the view that each person knows their own story best. NCPS appears after her name to note her credential with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps her clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Client-Centred Therapy keeps sessions grounded in what the client feels is important right now. Ffyona has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. During that time she has supported people with family conflict, motivation and self‑esteem concerns. She also addresses matters such as grief, trauma and addictions when they appear in a person's life. In sessions she aims to build on strengths and practical skills. Conversations are paced to the individual's needs and focus on clear steps they can try between meetings. She talks through worries, patterns and goals rather than using jargon. Seeking help is framed as a courageous first step. Ffyona emphasises compassionate support and practical problem solving. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they want to change and to bring that into the first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change the ways they relate to others. It can be useful for worries about trust, closeness and repeated relationship cycles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and routines and trying small experiments to test new ways of coping; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client‑Centred Therapy places the person's own priorities at the heart of sessions and aims to create a calm, accepting space for exploring what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions around that. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. It also makes it possible to maintain continuity of meetings when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client agree how to pace and structure each session.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
