About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. Fiona aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental place to talk.
She explains things plainly and works at a pace that suits each person. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and building small, practical changes.
Background and approach
Fiona draws on approaches such as client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to make conversations useful and grounded in everyday life. Fiona also uses mindfulness practices and guided hypnotherapy techniques when these fit a person's needs. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try different ways of responding.
The work is collaborative - the client and Fiona decide together what to try next. People come to her for help with grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and body image concerns.
Fiona aims to support clients as they rebuild a sense of purpose and ease in daily life. Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She guides conversations so clients leave with a clearer plan and doable steps to practice between meetings.
This approach helps people make steady progress toward better mood and more manageable routines.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss different ways of working and decide with each client which methods to try based on goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still keeping the focus on steady progress.
