About Fiona
Fiona Scotland is a counsellor with ten years of practice, guided by a person-centred way of working. She uses a blend of approaches that aim to help people untangle difficult stories and make practical changes. Fiona works with adults across the adult lifespan and brings experience from health, workplace and charity settings.
Her approach is straightforward and calm. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Fiona listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour and helps people notice choices they can make differently. She often uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with low mood, worry and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness techniques are introduced when they suit someone’s needs.
Solution-focused ideas help when people want clear, short-term steps to try. Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety and depression, as well as relationship and family tensions, bereavement and life transitions. She also offers support around addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and issues linked to ageing or chronic illness.
Fiona holds BACP registration, and her experience includes work in the NHS, employee assistance programmes and charities. Sessions are offered in English and she is able to work with international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session that suits them.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona discusses goals and preferences at the start and adapts techniques as therapy progresses. She will work with the client to try different tools and settle on what feels most useful for them.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for a longer, face-to-face feel; phone sessions when bandwidth or visual contact is not needed; and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or when writing helps reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping regular contact with a registered professional.
