   About Fiona

   Fiona Sorotos is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She has 12 years of professional experience and works with adults facing life changes, parenting strain, career stress and grief. She aims to offer calm, respectful support for people taking the first steps towards change.

   Fiona uses a few practical ways of working depending on each person’s needs. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and find personal reasons to move forward. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to focus on relationships and how people feel understood in the room.

   Sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Fiona listens with sensitivity and then discusses clear, manageable goals. She supports people to try small experiments between sessions and to notice what helps them feel steadier.

   Over her career she has supported people with sleep problems, anger, intimacy worries, ADHD and chronic health concerns alongside more common issues such as depression and anxiety. Her work includes helping with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and the challenges faced by caregivers.

   Fiona is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers counselling in English from her base in the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

2. How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

   Fiona commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and to build personal reasons for moving forward. This approach is useful for people who feel stuck or unsure about starting new habits or making decisions.
   
   She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns and feelings. That work helps when difficulties in close relationships, intimacy or family origins are causing distress. Fiona’s Client-Centred approach keeps the focus on the person’s experience, offering a listening space where people can feel heard and decide what direction to take.
   
   Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree a way of working together that feels right. She adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant to what the client needs.
   
   Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins during breaks at work. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter phone-style conversation, depending on the available session types.
