About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor with six years' experience who uses a blended approach to meet individual needs. She draws on several therapeutic models to shape sessions around what each person brings. Fiona presents a warm and interactive style and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults.
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders and sleep difficulties. She also works with issues such as addiction, trauma and emotional abuse, relationship strain and parenting pressures. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and feelings of isolation.
Fiona combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive-behavioural ideas and client-centred listening in her work. She also uses attachment-based thinking and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help with emotional regulation. In sessions she balances practical tools with time to talk things through.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person. Fiona listens for patterns that keep problems going and then works with clients on small, doable steps. She encourages skills practice between meetings and checks progress together.
Fiona is registered with NCPS. She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are carried out in English and are arranged through the platform’s booking process.
How Fiona’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and low mood because it focuses on living more meaningfully alongside difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to shift those patterns. It can help with sleep problems, worry, and managing mood by teaching skills to change unhelpful habits.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and emotion regulation. It can be helpful for people dealing with relationship difficulties, attachment worries and repeated patterns of isolation or insecurity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss what feels most useful and adapt techniques to match a client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together rather than imposed.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people living outside the UK can connect with a UK-based counsellor, subject to the platform’s arrangements for international clients.
