About Fiona
Fiona Scotland is a counsellor with ten years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and uses a person-centred, respectful way of working. Her practice aims to help people untangle their story and find practical steps forward.
Fiona sees adults across the lifespan. Sessions are offered for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports people with work pressures, career questions, neurodivergence and issues around intimacy or relationships. Her approach blends client-centred listening with evidence-informed methods. Fiona draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking, and uses mindfulness to help people become more present.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help clarify values and committed action. In sessions she focuses on short, clear aims and realistic steps. Conversations are practical and grounded, with space to reflect and make sense of feelings.
Fiona invites people to try small experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping. Her background includes roles in the NHS, employee assistance programmes and third-sector services. That experience shaped her ability to work with people under pressure and those facing bereavement, addiction or trauma.
Fiona adapts her style to each person’s needs and pace, helping them move toward steadier daily routines and clearer choices.

Online support
Fiona uses these approaches alongside a client-centred way of listening and adapting to each person. She works collaboratively to find which methods fit best, drawing up shared goals and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Finding the right mix is part of the work rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls mimic face-to-face conversation for fuller interaction, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, live chat suits brief reflections and messaging lets people keep a running dialogue between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, while still receiving structured support from registered or accredited professionals.
