Fiona Small

Fiona Small is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and the credential NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and motivation. Fiona aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive from the outset.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress now and finding practical ways to cope. Fiona combines gentle reflection with clear tools so people can notice small changes.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, relationship problems and compassion fatigue. She also offers support for grief and for those facing hospice and end-of-life concerns. Fiona pays attention to how past attachment patterns and communication habits affect current relationships.

Therapeutic methods include client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts, hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices for calming the mind, and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. She adapts her approach to what each person needs and prefers.

Many clients come away with clearer thinking and better daily routines for coping. Fiona encourages practical steps alongside exploring feelings, so people can try new ways of coping between sessions and review what helps.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience through careful listening and acceptance. It helps people voice difficult feelings and build confidence in their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to try new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Fiona will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the problem and the person. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy lives, keeping appointments during travel or using shorter check-ins when time is tight. Online work can also make it easier to use practical exercises, guided mindfulness and homework between sessions, helping to carry changes into everyday routines.
