About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental approach and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Fiona uses listening and practical tools to help people begin to feel steadier in daily life.
She commonly helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, or who are struggling with low mood and depression. Relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse are also areas she supports, along with grief and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Fiona pays attention to how these problems affect everyday routines and energy levels. Fiona draws on a range of approaches when planning sessions. She uses Hypnotherapy to help access calmer states, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and Client-Centred methods that put the person’s concerns at the heart of the work.
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also available when relevant. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, achievable steps.
Fiona explains techniques clearly and checks in about how they are working. People who prefer a practical, supportive counsellor often find her approach helpful. She welcomes people from across the UK and also accepts international clients.
Sessions are held online by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
Approaches that suit online work
Fiona commonly uses Hypnotherapy to help people reach a calmer state and focus on positive change; this can support anxiety, stress and sleep problems. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; CBT is often used for anxiety and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her work by keeping the person’s priorities central and using empathic listening to guide each session.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Fiona will talk through what feels most useful and try different ways of working based on someone’s goals and preferences. She treats the selection of techniques as a collaboration rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing, low-intensity support. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and travel without losing continuity of care.
