About Fiona

Fiona Sorotos is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties, including panic-related concerns. She has 12 years of professional experience and works with issues such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Fiona focuses on meeting each person where they are and helping them take the first steps toward feeling better.

Fiona aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs, so plans are tailored rather than fixed. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tasks to help people notice what is getting in the way and try small changes.

Her approach draws on attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns, client-centred ways of listening to what matters most, and cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused elements when helping people set achievable goals.

People often come for help with coping with life changes, parenting strain, grief, sleep problems and anger, as well as longer-standing concerns such as depression, ADHD and chronic illness. Fiona explains things in plain language and works at a calm, steady pace so people can try ideas between sessions.

She encourages anyone struggling with panic, anxiety or the fallout from difficult experiences to consider a first step. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person's needs and availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions; it can help when someone struggles with closeness, trust or repeating relationship difficulties. Client-centred methods involve straightforward, non-judgemental listening and letting the person set the pace and topics in sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety and panic.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan that fits. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit remote sessions and help people practise skills between meetings.
