About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor who uses a blend of approaches to suit each person she sees. She draws on a range of therapeutic models and includes hypnotherapy as part of her work. She has six years of practice and supports people through common and complex issues.
Fiona aims for a warm, respectful style in sessions. She keeps conversations straightforward and practical so people can make small changes that matter.
Background and approach
Her manner is calm and interactive, and she focuses on what feels achievable for each person. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety and trauma. She also helps with stress, anger, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, addiction and sleep problems.
Neurodiversity, mood disorders and grief are other areas she commonly addresses. Fiona combines methods such as cognitive behavioural work, client-centred listening and attachment-based ideas. She adapts tools to the person rather than following one fixed method.
Hypnotherapy is available where it may help with patterns like anxiety or habit change. Practical steps are part of the work. Sessions may include talking through patterns, learning new coping skills and trying short experiments between meetings.
Fiona aims to help people feel more able to handle life changes and day-to-day pressures.

Online support
Approaches you can use online and how they help
Fiona uses a small range of approaches that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions; it is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding, giving space for people to find their own solutions; it can help with low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to address patterns such as anxiety, sleep problems or habit change, and it is offered where appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative trial-and-see process helps match tools to what feels most useful for you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments.
