About Fiona
Fiona Small is a counsellor registered with NCPS who has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of emotional and life challenges including relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD and mood difficulties. Sessions also cover parenting strain, grief, sleep and eating problems, and difficulties with self-esteem and anger.
Her background includes working with people affected by trauma and emotional abuse, which led her to learn additional trauma-focused methods. Fiona draws on several therapy models so she can match the approach to what each person needs. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioural, attachment-informed and client-centred ideas.
In sessions she mixes talking work with practical strategies. That can mean naming difficult feelings, tracing how patterns start, and practising new ways to respond. Fiona also pays attention to how attachment and early relationships shape present difficulties and relationships.
She aims to be interactive and straightforward in therapy. People can expect clear steps, exercises to try between sessions, and focused conversations about goals and progress. Fiona adapts the pace according to how someone manages intense emotions.
Practical arrangements are explained up front. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the online therapy options button.
Using EFT, ACT and attachment work in online therapy
Fiona draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with hard-to-reach emotions and recurring relationship patterns. EFT focuses on feelings and the ways they shape behaviour and connection. It is often used when people want to change repetitive emotional responses or improve closeness.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take committed action. ACT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current relationships and self-regulation, which can help with feelings of abandonment, trust and emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss options and choose methods together with each client, based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
