About Fiona
Fiona Choi is an ACA counsellor with 12 years' experience based in Australia. She explains things simply and helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self‑esteem. Fiona aims to make the first steps easy for worried parents and busy adults who need practical support during change.
She takes a collaborative, client‑centred approach and looks for strengths people already have. Fiona often uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside grounding and relaxation to help manage strong feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills that can be practised between appointments so progress carries into everyday life. Fiona has worked with people facing relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, work‑life balance problems and immigration stress. She has experience helping those dealing with shame, guilt, body image concerns and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her background includes supporting people through grief and depression as well. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, which helps when language or culture matters in how someone tells their story. Fiona emphasises respect for each person's background and adapts her style to suit different needs and ways of communicating.
Therapy with her usually involves clear goals, practical strategies and regular check‑ins. Fiona encourages clients to set small, realistic steps and celebrates changes as they happen. She invites people to start at a pace that feels manageable and to shape the work around their life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that suit busy lives
Fiona commonly uses cognitive behavioural methods to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical strategies for reducing anxiety and low mood. This approach breaks problems into clear steps and teaches small exercises that can change daily habits and reactions.She also incorporates grounding and relaxation techniques to reduce immediate physical symptoms of stress. These tools are short, teachable practices people can use during moments of overwhelm to regain a sense of calm and better focus on coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and will be decided together. Fiona works collaboratively to match techniques to a client's goals, needs and lifestyle, and she adjusts methods over time if something isn’t working well.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face‑to‑face interaction for deeper work, while phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check‑ins, tracking progress or practising skills between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around school, work and family commitments.
