About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom and has three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and motivation concerns. She also supports people facing grief and coping with life changes.
Fiona keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what is most pressing and works with each person to develop manageable steps. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding to them, or practising short exercises to reduce tension and improve focus.
Her background includes approaches that aim to make thinking patterns clearer and behaviour easier to change. Fiona uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred methods and mindfulness techniques. She also draws on hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing when these match a person’s goals.
In sessions she focuses on everyday problems people bring, such as relationship strain, feelings of emptiness, trouble with communication, or coping after loss. She will work through current difficulties and practical ways to manage them between meetings.
Fiona works in English and accepts international clients. The booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How Fiona uses structured approaches in online sessions
Fiona commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred work to address everyday problems. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and testing small behavioural experiments to change them. Client-centred methods place the person’s concerns and priorities at the centre of sessions and support practical problem-solving.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress and attention, and uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to build new routines or increase goal-directed action. Each approach is described plainly and used where it fits the person’s goals and preferences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, and they review what is helping as sessions progress. This collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
The biography does not list explicit session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and what type of online meeting will best suit a person’s circumstances.
