Fiona Sorotos , BACP

Fiona Sorotos is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems and parenting strain. Fiona works with people experiencing anger, career stress, depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD related challenges. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Fiona keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens closely and adapts the pace to each person. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking alongside exploring feelings when that helps.

Her approach draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that place the person's experience at the heart of the session. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when they suit the person's goals.

Fiona aims to tailor plans to each person's needs rather than offering one set method. She pays attention to culture, life stage and the context that surrounds a person's difficulties. Sessions include both short-term problem solving and longer work when deeper themes emerge.

People often come for help after a big life change, a loss, relationship strain or a period of ongoing stress. Fiona encourages small steps and practical strategies so progress feels manageable and realistic.

How Fiona’s approaches work online

Fiona uses attachment-based work to examine how past relationships shape current patterns. This helps when worries show up again and again in relationships or when trust and closeness feel difficult. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Fiona will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree whether attachment work, CBT techniques or a mix will be most useful. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can feel easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter problem solving or when someone prefers writing rather than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, care duties or travel without losing continuity of support.
