About Fiona

Fiona Small is a NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and mood difficulties, and helps people with trauma, addictions, relationship and family concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, ADHD and bipolar-related issues.

Fiona uses a mix of well-known approaches rather than a single method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, with attention to thoughts, behaviours and emotional patterns.

People come to her for a wide range of problems from ongoing low mood to acute stress and trauma-related distress. She also works with issues such as body image, communication problems, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and difficulties linked to autism or personality styles.

Her NCPS credential is given as NCPS. Fiona accepts international clients and runs work in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, clients are asked to use the site’s See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This initial step helps match practical needs and preferences before the first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and difficulties with motivation or avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical skills for managing low mood, anxiety and patterns that maintain distress.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when relationship difficulties, attachment issues or feelings of abandonment affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and they will adjust methods collaboratively as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and skills work to fit remote sessions and day-to-day routines.
