About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor with six years' experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and life transitions. She works in a warm, interactive way and aims to create a respectful space where clients can talk things through and make practical changes. Fiona uses a blend of approaches to suit each person's needs and preferences.
Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and emotional abuse, and she has experience supporting those with depression, relationship concerns, parenting stresses, obsessive thoughts, and neurodiversity. Her practice focuses on common day-to-day difficulties such as sleeping problems, low self-esteem, anger, addictive behaviours and coping after loss.
Fiona draws on a mix of therapies including cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, dialectical tools and client-centred listening. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments and build new ways of managing intense feelings.
Her style is calm and compassionate, yet practical. Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful, with clear steps to try between meetings when appropriate. Fiona encourages clients to set realistic goals and to check progress as therapy continues.
If someone is thinking about starting, she asks them to consider what they hope to change and to begin with a short matching questionnaire. That helps both sides find a good way forward before scheduling sessions.
How Fiona's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports values-based goals and small, concrete actions that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours through short exercises and homework tasks. It can be useful for panic symptoms, anxiety and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Fiona will discuss the options and collaborate on what feels most helpful based on each person’s goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is reviewed, so the method is adjusted if needed.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written or spoken tools between meetings and try exercises in their own routines while supported by a therapist.
