Writing & Publications
On healing, identity & reinvention.
Across two decades Fiona has written candidly for the professional press — on emotional literacy, depth work, and her own journeys through grief and healing.
Selected Writing
In her own words.
Three published pieces — two from her years pioneering emotional-literacy work in schools, and one from a later journey into grief and healing. All are free to read.

Emotional Literacy: the key to being the best you can be

Healing with Plant Medicine
A candid first-person account of traveling deep into the Peruvian Amazon to drink the plant medicine ayahuasca, in the hope of unlocking a lifetime of repressed grief.
One-Woman Show
On stage,
on three continents.
A storytelling show distilled from twenty years of inner work and four decades of British comedy. Touring credits include performances in the United States, Australia, London, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival — where it received five-star reviews.
Edinburgh Fringe
Five-star reviews. The Fringe run cemented the show's reputation as a tender, funny, and uncommonly honest piece of storytelling.
London
Sold-out performances at intimate venues across the city; word-of-mouth audiences from the queer, recovery, and theatre communities.
United States
Tour stops including Los Angeles, New York, Provincetown, Palm Springs, Marin, and Seattle. The show found particular resonance with audiences navigating identity, family-of-origin, and late-blooming.
Australia
Performances in Sydney and Melbourne, bringing the show to new audiences across the southern hemisphere.
The Memoir
A Very
British Lesbian
A candid, funny, and quietly devastating account of growing up gay in the England of the post-war decades — and of finding, eventually, a way home to oneself.
The book grew out of Fiona's one-woman show of the same name. More than a memoir, it is the fullest expression of the reinvention she now helps others find — proof that voice, creativity, and joy can be reclaimed at any age.
Available in paperback and as an audiobook narrated by Fiona, on Amazon and Audible.
