About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor (NCPS) with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
She draws on several therapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits that get in the way, and trying practical alternatives that can be used day to day.
Fiona tends to work in an interactive style. She uses conversation and practical exercises to help people test new ways of thinking and acting. Where trauma is involved, she pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships.
People who come for support often want clear tools for managing mood, stress, or unhelpful behaviour patterns. Sessions can include skill practice, behaviour experiments, and talking through relationship or parenting problems. Progress is paced to fit what each person can manage.
Her approach aims to combine straightforward techniques with attention to emotions and attachment patterns. Fiona accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Costs vary with location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Fiona uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to design small experiments that test different ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and many everyday habits that cause distress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and learning ways to accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. ACT can help with avoidance, persistent worry, and decisions about life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss different methods with clients and agree on steps together. She treats this as a collaborative process, adjusting techniques based on goals, preferences and what is working in practice.
