About Fiona
Fiona Small is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting pressures and related concerns such as grief, trauma and addiction. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Fiona uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to match what each person brings. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to address thinking patterns and on client-centred listening to help people feel heard. Attachment-based ideas inform work where early relationships affect current connections and parenting challenges.
Her practical focus is on clear, usable skills alongside reflective conversation. That might mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, practising communication techniques, or developing routines for sleep and eating. She also supports coping with life changes such as bereavement or a move into parenthood.
Fiona has worked with people who describe long-term mood difficulties, neurodiversity, and histories of emotional abuse and trauma. She aims to respond to those experiences with paced, collaborative sessions and attention to what feels manageable for each person.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Fiona uses online approaches and therapeutic models
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and for coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, such as sleep routines or managing low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer. That process is collaborative - she helps clients test approaches and keep what works for them.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join sessions from different locations, which helps when schedules or commitments vary.
