About Fiona

Fiona Small is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions and relationship or family strains. Fiona also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and struggles with mood and coping during life changes.

Her background combines several therapeutic styles so sessions can be tailored to each person. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm is central to a problem and applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to practical patterns and unhelpful thoughts.

Background and approach

Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she builds trust and helps people feel heard. Fiona aims for a warm, interactive style that keeps sessions respectful and sensitive. She focuses on clear, practical steps alongside emotional work, such as learning coping skills, noticing thought patterns, and strengthening relationships with oneself and others.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. She has particular interest in complex emotional issues including abandonment, dissociation, attachment difficulties, and personality-related struggles. Fiona also offers help around parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Sessions are offered in English and Fiona accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to therapist availability.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Working online with trauma-aware and practical approaches

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding how past harm affects present life. It helps when upsetting memories, flashbacks or avoidance are getting in the way of daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward valued goals. It is useful for anxiety, depression and ongoing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour. It helps people improve how they relate to others and feel safer in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and Fiona treats it as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how symptoms present, then suggest methods to try. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and face-to-face connection, while phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or when a lower bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer ongoing written check-ins or want to work between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
