About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor with six years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and other life difficulties. She works in the United Kingdom and uses a blend of practical talking therapies to help people find clearer thinking and calmer responses. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at making it easier to talk about painful or confusing experiences.
She draws on a mixture of cognitive and person-centred methods to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
That means working on thought patterns, building coping skills and attending to emotional wounds. Fiona pays particular attention to attachment difficulties and to the impact of trauma or abuse on everyday life. Sessions often focus on concrete steps people can use between meetings.
Fiona uses exercises to manage mood, reduce anxiety and improve sleep. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress and the challenges of neurodiversity. Her style is interactive but grounded, holding space for strong feelings while helping people move towards practical change.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit the person in front of her. She aims to make therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Fiona holds NCPS as her listed credential.
She offers online and telephone options for sessions, and works with people from different countries who can meet in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Fiona's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different responses. That method often targets worry, sleep problems and mood regulation with clear, homework-style exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form more supported ways of relating and handling emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Fiona discusses options with each person and adapts the methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - she helps decide what feels most helpful and reviews progress together as therapy continues.
Online sessions can be very flexible. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a typed back-and-forth for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and let people try different ways of meeting until they find what works best.
