Come Visit!
Welcome to E-stranged!
Hi there! I'm Fiona McColl, Accredited Social Worker, Clinical Therapist and author of this blog. I've spent my 20 year career working with families who have the most complex of complex problems. I have a specialist interest and extensive experience working with individuals and families who are experiencing estrangement.
I passionately believe healing is possible for anyone who is estranged. I know this because I've done it myself. If I can heal, so can you.
If you're motivated to move your life forward, type in your email address below to join our community and receive our monthly newsletter.
I'm so glad you're here!
