Fiona Small, NCPS

Fiona Small is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Fiona aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and approachable for those who feel uncertain about the first step.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space for clients to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her, whether that is rebuilding confidence, coping with grief, or handling life changes.

Fiona uses practical tools alongside listening and reflection. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and she uses mindfulness techniques to build steadiness in daily life. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are other methods she brings in when they fit a person’s goals.

People come to Fiona for many reasons, including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, body image and jealousy. She works at a pace set by the client and pays attention to how past experiences shape present struggles.

Her style is warm and direct. Fiona helps people set realistic short-term aims and checks in regularly about progress. The practical focus is on small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels, giving space for someone to speak and feel heard while the counsellor follows their lead; this helps with low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers clear, structured tools to spot unhelpful thinking and change small behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood in day-to-day life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to steady the mind and increase tolerance of strong emotions, useful for stress, grief and trauma aftercare.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and will try different methods to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process and changes can be made if something does not feel helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing short check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make it simpler to join from quieter surroundings or when it is hard to be on camera at times. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
