About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and low mood. Fiona aims to make the first step feel easier for those looking for change.
She keeps sessions straightforward and welcoming. Fiona focuses on creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Conversations are paced to match each person's needs and comfort level.
Background and approach
Fiona uses a mix of approaches to suit different situations. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also includes mindfulness practices and motivational techniques to build resilience and forward momentum. Hypnotherapy may be used as a tool when appropriate to support relaxation and focus. Fiona adapts methods to practical goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
People come to her with grief, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She also works with issues such as attachment, body image, domestic violence, isolation and life purpose. Sessions aim to turn difficult moments into small, manageable steps.
Fiona invites clients to set clear goals and try out new ways of coping between meetings. She encourages honest feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant to everyday life.
Therapy methods and how they work online
Fiona uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the client's priorities at the heart of each session. This approach involves listening closely and responding to what the person says, helping them find their own answers and pace for change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to make practical changes to unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety and low mood because it breaks problems into clear steps and small experiments you can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Fiona will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to build a plan that feels useful and doable for day-to-day life.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a simple check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, in-between support or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These flexible formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities and travel, while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals rather than logistics.
