  • Lead NHS Perinatal Psychologist

    “‘Fiona has supervised my perinatal work for over six years now. During this time I have grown and developed as a clinician both in my NHS and private practice.  Fiona draws on a range of psychological approaches and theoretical models that allow for breadth and depth in supporting clinicians to support others with managing psychological distress. It is her down to earth humanity and sense of humour alongside her inherently creative approach to challenges that has enabled me to learn as much as I have from her.”
