Fiona Small , NCPS

Fiona Small is a counsellor with six years of practice who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds NCPS and works from the United Kingdom, offering a calm, respectful way of working for people wanting practical support. Fiona uses straightforward language and a warm approach to help clients feel understood and heard.

Her background includes work with depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and emotional abuse. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Fiona pays attention to attachment issues, body image, isolation and other sensitive concerns.

Fiona blends several approaches rather than relying on one set method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred ways of working to help people notice what matters and take small steps that fit their life. She also uses attachment-based thinking to understand how past relationships shape present patterns.

Sessions focus on practical tools and clearer thinking alongside emotional exploration. Clients can expect an interactive style that balances listening with gentle challenges and skill teaching. Fiona encourages pacing that suits each person and aims to build coping skills for everyday situations.

People often come for short-term support around a problem or for longer work on deeper issues. Fiona welcomes conversations about goals and preferences, and she adapts sessions to what each person needs at the time.

How Fiona adapts therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward the things that matter. It uses simple exercises and values work to build action even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how earlier relationships affect current connections and emotional responses, helping people understand patterns and work toward healthier ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and the issues you bring, then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction for skills teaching and emotional processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support frequent, brief contact and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered or accredited professional.
