Fiona Small, NCPS

Fiona Small is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship difficulties. Fiona aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She helps people talk about trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and issues with motivation. She also addresses compassion fatigue and the strain of life changes. Her practice includes attention to attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues and body image worries.

Fiona uses a mix of approaches depending on what someone needs. She draws on client-centred work to keep conversations paced by the person, and she uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help when thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way. She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build small, practical steps forward.

Sessions are meant to be a place where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Fiona works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and to find ways of coping that fit everyday life. Her style is calm, straightforward and focused on practical change.

People wanting to start are encouraged to reflect on what matters most to them and what they hope to change. Fiona supports that process, offering steady guidance and simple tools to help people move toward a more fulfilling life.

How Fiona’s approaches adapt to online work

Fiona uses client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That approach means conversations follow the client’s pace and priorities, helping people feel heard and understood even when meeting remotely.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. CBT can be useful online for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out small behavioural experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Fiona will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who prefer not to be on camera for every conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to deliver the same therapeutic techniques they use face to face, while tailoring exercises and between-session tasks to everyday life.
