Fiona Kennedy

I'm Fiona Kennedy, a qualified counsellor and a trauma-informed Resilient Kid and Resilient Teen Coach. I'm passionate about supporting children and young people who are struggling with anxiety, low confidence, overwhelming emotions, friendships and school-related difficulties. I understand that emotional challenges can look very different from one child to another. Some children express their feelings through anger or frustration, while others become withdrawn, anxious or reluctant to attend school. My approach is warm, person-centred and trauma-informed. I believe that every child and young person deserves to feel heard, understood and accepted for who they are. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent young people, including those with ADHD and autism, and recognise the importance of adapting support to meet individual needs. I provide one-to-one resilience coaching, small-group sessions, school-based programmes and wellbeing workshops across Cheadle Hulme, Stockport and South Manchester. My aim is to help young people understand their emotions, recognise their strengths and develop practical tools to build confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.
