Fiona Scotland is a counsellor with ten years' experience working across the United Kingdom. She trained in person-centred practice and holds BACP accreditation. Fiona focuses on helping adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for someone worried about everyday pressures. Fiona blends person-centred work with approaches that recognise neurodiversity. She listens for the story each person brings and helps them notice patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the individual, with exercises when they help move things forward. Her background includes roles in the NHS, employee assistance programmes and charities. That breadth means she has experience with workplace stress, academic pressures and caregiving strain.

She also supports people dealing with grief, bereavement and complex emotional reactions after trauma and abuse. Fiona works with issues around identity and intimacy, including LGBT concerns and relationship difficulties, and offers help with addictions, sleep and eating challenges. She also supports people managing long-term conditions such as cancer, ageing related worries and the effects of neurodivergence.

Practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment work, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are available as needed. Fiona encourages small, manageable steps so people can test changes between sessions. The pace and focus are agreed together, to match each client’s goals and day-to-day life.

How Fiona’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behaviour patterns and uses simple exercises to test new ways of responding to problems. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fiona will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then agree what to try first. That might mean combining person-centred listening with ACT or CBT exercises, and checking in regularly to see what helps most.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to maintain continuity when travel or schedules change.
