Fiona Small , NCPS

Fiona Small offers an integrative approach to counselling, tailoring therapeutic methods to meet each person's individual needs. She has supported people through a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, obsessive-compulsive issues, complex PTSD, and neurodiversity, and adapts her work to the circumstances each client brings.

Her experience with clients who have lived through trauma and emotional abuse led to additional training in REWIND therapy, a gentle method aimed at processing traumatic memories. Fiona's style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive ideas to create an empowering space for reflection and change.

Fiona recognises that beginning therapy requires courage and offers steady support throughout the process. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and draws on her training to help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful life changes. She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to take that step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and develop actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes by focusing on meaningful action rather than symptom elimination.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that developed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach supports people working through relationship problems, abandonment issues, and the impact of past relational trauma.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental therapeutic presence. It aims to strengthen self-awareness, self-esteem, and personal agency by creating a collaborative, accepting environment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Fiona works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to tailor care to each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and continue work between in-depth sessions.
