About Fiona
Fiona Scotland is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting adults across a wide range of life challenges. She holds BACP accreditation, and she works with people to untangle old patterns and make practical changes. Her style is person-centred and warm, with an emphasis on listening and helping people notice what matters to them.
Fiona draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions around each person. She often uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients live by their values.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce stress and anchor attention in the present. She has worked in the NHS, employee assistance programmes and charities, gaining experience with workplace stress, bereavement, depression and life transitions.
Fiona also supports people navigating trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties and identity questions within the LGBT community. Her background includes work with neurodivergent adults and issues such as menopause and caregiving stress. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and practical tools as well as talking things through.
Fiona aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can try new ways of responding to problems. She encourages a collaborative approach so therapy feels tailored to each person's life and goals. People come with many concerns including anxiety, sleep and eating problems, grief, anger and issues around intimacy or attachment.
Fiona helps people build coping skills, notice patterns, and plan small changes that fit their daily routines.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Fiona commonly uses acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Acceptance and commitment work helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them, even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behaviour and trying practical experiments to shift them.She also brings a person-centred stance to online work, which means the conversation is shaped around the client's concerns and pace. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and decide what feels most helpful as they go along.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and help fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility needs.
