Fiona Small , NCPS

Fiona Small practices an integrative style of counselling that draws on a range of therapeutic models to fit each person’s circumstances. She has supported people through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, OCD, complex PTSD, and issues related to neurodiversity, approaching each case with attention to individual needs and goals.

Her work with survivors of trauma and emotional abuse led her to train in REWIND therapy, a gentle and effective method for processing traumatic memories. Fiona blends cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive techniques to create a therapeutic space defined by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to be warm and interactive while helping clients build practical skills and deeper insight.

Fiona holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that indicates formal training and recognised standards of practice. Beginning therapy often takes courage, and Fiona offers steady support for those ready to make a change. She welcomes people who are seeking an empowering, collaborative approach to healing and personal growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, helping clients improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical strategies for issues like anxiety, low mood, and habitual responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Fiona works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how and when clients meet - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or mobility constraints, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum even when schedules or locations change.
