About Fiona

Fiona Small is registered with the NCPS and has three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, motivation and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions are straightforward and pragmatic. She listens to what matters most and helps people sort out next steps. She favours clear conversation over jargon and aims to keep things practical and manageable for someone juggling family life.

Fiona uses a mix of approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques. That means she might focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns, building more helpful routines, using mindful practices to reduce overwhelm, or following the client’s lead in exploring what feels important to them.

People coming from blended households often need help with changing roles, loyalty conflicts and new routines. Fiona can help an individual think through step-parenting questions, communication patterns with ex-partners, and ways to reduce tension at home. She does not give legal or custody advice but helps with the emotional side of those changes.

Sessions are kept simple to fit around daily life. Fiona encourages practical strategies you can try between meetings and reviews what works for you. She asks clients to describe their goals and then plans next steps together.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Fiona works from client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural approaches. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns, helping them speak and be heard so they can make their own decisions. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduce practical techniques to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as the work progresses to ensure it fits the person’s needs.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Fiona aims to help people arrange sessions that slot into everyday life and support steady progress.
