About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and supports people facing life changes and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on identifying what matters now, noticing patterns that get in the way, and trying small practical steps to test new ways of coping. Fiona draws on Client-Centred ideas to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. Mindfulness approaches are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Hypnotherapy and Motivational Interviewing are available as additional tools when they fit a person's goals.
Fiona has worked with a broad range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family challenges, body image and communication difficulties. She can also support people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life matters, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Fiona adapts therapies for online work
Fiona commonly blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy means listening closely and following the person’s concerns, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and practising small changes to test different ways of coping.She may also draw on mindfulness techniques to build awareness of bodily sensations and emotional habits. Mindfulness can help reduce reactivity and create room to choose a response rather than react immediately. These approaches are used together to match what the person brings and what they want to achieve.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what helps and adjust the approach as work progresses. Goals, preferences and practical circumstances guide which methods are prioritised, and Fiona discusses options openly during the first sessions.
