About Fiona

Fiona Small is a NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and depression, and offers help with relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Fiona uses a mix of approaches to shape sessions, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She aims to make conversations straightforward and practical, helping people name what is most troubling them and try small changes that can make a difference.

Sessions are paced to the person attending. Fiona listens to current worries, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact, and practices simple grounding or mindfulness exercises when those are useful. She can also use motivational techniques to help someone find or renew the drive to change.

Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, body image, communication and control issues, domestic violence, and feelings such as emptiness, guilt and shame. She also works with issues around forgiveness, infidelity, isolation, jealousy, life purpose and hospice or end-of-life concerns.

Fiona describes the first steps as selecting a matching questionnaire and arranging an initial session. She accepts clients from the UK and international clients in English. Costs vary by location and sessions are supplied through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Fiona uses therapy methods in online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's concerns at the centre of each session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and follows the person’s priorities to build understanding and practical next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to try small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy uses short attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping. These practices can help with worry, stress and the emotional impact of difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Fiona will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That may mean combining short practical tasks with reflective, person-centred conversation over a few sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around daily life, fit brief check-ins into a lunch break, or avoid travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require a camera, which can suit different practical needs.
