About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Fiona aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
She helps people talk about trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, grief and compassion fatigue. Fiona also assists with self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and offers help around attachment issues and communication problems.
Background and approach
Her practice includes work on body image, guilt and shame, isolation and feelings of emptiness. Fiona uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred methods to follow the client’s pace and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes in behaviour. She also offers mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy as options to manage anxiety or build focus. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone struggles with change and needs a clearer plan.
Fiona discusses these options with each client and chooses what feels most useful together. Sessions aim to be straightforward and non-judgemental. Fiona encourages practical steps and simple tools people can use between meetings.
She supports people who want clearer communication, healthier boundaries and greater emotional balance. To begin, clients are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions to suit their schedule. International clients can be supported and sessions are carried out in English.

How Fiona works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, usually called CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and homework to test unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing exercises. It can help people manage stress, reduce rumination and improve focus during difficult moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Fiona will talk through these options with clients and pick methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses to find what works best.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular meetings. Fiona aims to help clients use practical tools between sessions so progress can continue outside appointments.
