About Fiona
BACP. 12 years' experience. Fiona Sorotos works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. She also addresses issues such as grief, parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger, career concerns and ADHD-related challenges.
Fiona uses approaches that include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions are focused on clear, practical conversation. She listens to what matters to the person in front of her, then helps identify small, manageable steps to try between meetings.
Fiona pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Attachment-based ideas help when people want to understand why they respond strongly in close relationships. CBT techniques are used to map patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, and to test different ways of coping.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work are used when clients want to build commitment and set short-term goals. These approaches aim to make change feel doable and measurable rather than overwhelming. Practical tools and straightforward exercises are offered when useful.
Fiona has worked professionally for twelve years in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so she can understand concerns and agree a way forward.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed in the past and how they affect current feelings. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice triggers, improve communication habits, and make different choices in relationships.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and pace. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows what the client raises, reflects back what she hears, and supports the client to explore solutions they value.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions can include simple exercises, behavioural experiments and planning between sessions to test what works in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss options with each person and agree a way forward based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can combine different methods as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits often cited by people using remote counselling include easier fitting of sessions around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins by phone when that suits, and fewer travel needs. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting to an online setting so the work fits into daily life.
