About Fiona

ACA Level 4 counsellor Fiona Choi has worked in Australia for 12 years supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem, depression and life transitions. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and has practised with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Fiona’s profile notes experience across childhood, adolescent and adult presentations.

Fiona uses a collaborative, client‑centred, strengths‑based way of working. She often integrates cognitive behavioural frameworks with practical grounding and relaxation techniques. Sessions focus on manageable steps clients can try between meetings.

She has supported people with relationship and family concerns, emotional regulation, work‑life balance and identity or educational pressures for adolescents. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, body image, guilt and shame, isolation and immigration matters.

With children she has experience addressing ADHD‑related behavioural concerns. With adolescents she has helped with self‑criticism and the stresses of school and identity development. Fiona frames these concerns in straightforward skills work and reflective conversation.

Fiona explains that she treats clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. The first sessions tend to clarify goals and try practical strategies. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.

How Fiona’s therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Fiona commonly uses cognitive behavioural ideas and grounding and relaxation techniques. Cognitive behavioural methods break problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and teach practical skills to test unhelpful thinking and change behaviour. This approach suits anxiety, low mood and self‑esteem work. Grounding and relaxation techniques focus on breath, body awareness and short exercises clients can use when feeling overwhelmed. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which techniques to try based on their goals, preferences and day‑to‑day needs. She checks in on what helps and adjusts methods over time. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed. They also allow using hand‑on exercises, guided breathing and homework tasks during or between sessions so techniques can be practised in everyday settings.
