About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential and spends her time helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and depression. Fiona aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful events and difficult feelings. Conversations often begin with what matters most now and small, practical goals for the next session. Fiona uses a mix of talking therapies and practical exercises to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Fiona commonly works with clients facing relationship strain, grief, compassion fatigue and challenges following trauma or abuse. She also supports people with issues around body image, attachment and life direction. Sessions balance reflection about past experiences with steps to improve daily functioning.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. She also uses hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing when these fit a client’s needs and preferences. The aim is to match methods to what a person finds helpful rather than using a single technique for everyone.
Fiona welcomes conversations about hospice, end-of-life concerns and other complex situations with sensitivity. She encourages anyone thinking about therapy to take the first step and reach out for an initial conversation about their goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Fiona draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make their own choices about change. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with stress and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fiona works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions often start with what matters most now, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made or priorities shift.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life or medical appointments and can reduce travel time. It also allows for short check-ins when a quick review would help, and for using mindfulness or cognitive techniques as part of regular home practice.
