About Fiona

Fiona Scotland is a counsellor with ten years of practice experience and a BACP registration. She describes her work as person-centred while drawing on an integrative, neuro-affirming outlook. Fiona aims to help people untangle their story and build a different path forward.

Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters now, using practical conversation and tailored techniques. She pays attention to how thinking and behaviour link to feelings, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

Fiona has worked across NHS services, employee assistance programmes and charities. That range has shaped a flexible, pragmatic style suited to everyday problems like stress at work or sleep disruption. She brings experience with mood concerns, anxiety, addictions and bereavement.

People also come for help with identity and relationship questions, career strain, parenting pressures and life transitions. Fiona lists additional focus areas that include attachment, autism and caregiver stress, among others. Her practice supports people through complex and overlapping issues.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online using video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a simple matching process is used so people can find a therapist and schedule sessions that fit their life.

Ways of working Fiona names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Fiona’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. It can help when life feels stuck or values feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses simple exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and support to help people find their own solutions.

Choosing the right mix of methods is something Fiona treats as a shared task. She works with each person to decide which ideas and exercises suit their goals and preferences, adapting the approach as therapy continues. The plan evolves with the issues people bring and the progress they make.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief exercises or days when writing feels more helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the same clinical approaches available remotely.
