About Fiona
Fiona Small is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults who want practical help for issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and major life changes.
Her background includes work with trauma and emotional abuse, and she has supported people with neurodiversity and mood disorders. Fiona uses a mix of evidence-informed methods rather than a single fixed model. Sessions focus on what the person is experiencing now and on developing useful ways to manage difficult feelings.
In practice she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide the work. That means helping people notice difficult thoughts, practise new responses, and build clearer patterns in relationships. She also uses client-centred and skills-based elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when they fit the goal.
Fiona aims for a direct, interactive style in sessions. Clients can expect to talk through recent events, try practical exercises, and plan small changes to test between meetings. The emphasis is on clear tools to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and manage anger and stress more effectively.
Sessions are conducted in English and Fiona accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Fiona commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action despite uncomfortable feelings, which can be useful for chronic anger and avoidance. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce reactivity.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how past relationship patterns affect current responses. That approach helps people notice repeating interaction styles and practise new ways of relating when anger or mistrust appears. Together these methods give both skills and relational insight to address temper, resentment and communication problems.
Finding the right mix is part of the process and the therapist works collaboratively to decide what fits your goals and preferences. Initial meetings concentrate on what matters most to you, then the approach is adjusted as progress and challenges become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to help people practice new skills between sessions and maintain momentum in day-to-day life.
