Fiona Small is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds an NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She aims to make the first step of seeking support feel less daunting for anyone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational. Fiona listens closely and helps people find small, realistic changes they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Her work covers trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing life transitions, compassion fatigue and struggles with purpose or emptiness. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, body image and communication problems.

Fiona draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She also uses hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing when these suit a person’s goals. The emphasis is on collaborating to find approaches that feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people both in the UK and internationally. Fiona uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.

How Fiona’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist helps people feel heard and supports them to find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce worry, shift negative patterns and manage mood-related problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for stress, rumination and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful.

Online therapy gives options that fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text-based messaging lets someone reflect in writing. These choices make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit it around work, caregiving or travel.
