About Fiona
Fiona Scotland is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She draws on person-centred ideas while bringing together other ways of working to suit each person's needs. Fiona keeps therapy straightforward and conversational so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Her background includes work across health services, employee assistance programmes and charities. That range gave her experience with stress at work, anxiety and depression, and the pressures of academic life.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with bereavement, life transitions and major relationship strains. Fiona offers practical help for parenting concerns and for problems with sleep, eating and intimacy. She also works with issues such as addiction, ADHD, bipolar conditions and trauma-related distress.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress and the effects of chronic or serious illness. In sessions she uses clear, short-term strategies alongside reflective, person-led conversations. Fiona can introduce mindfulness exercises, goal-focused steps and ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
She aims to help people find small changes that make daily life easier. People meet Fiona for video, phone, chat or messaging sessions. She speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
To begin, a short online questionnaire and a scheduling step are all that is needed to get started.

How Fiona’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behaviour, often with short exercises you can try between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Fiona will discuss what fits your needs and what you prefer, and she will adapt methods over time. The first sessions are collaborative so you can see what feels helpful and what to adjust.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Messaging and live chat support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and travel.
