About Fiona
Fiona Sorotos works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and motivation and confidence. She works with adults on parenting, grief, anger, career issues, depression and compassion fatigue. Fiona is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience.
Fiona uses a client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what the person wants to talk about and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She also draws on cognitive behavioural methods to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and on attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships.
In the room she aims to listen carefully and respond in straightforward language. Sessions are used to talk through recent events, past difficulties, or ongoing problems. Fiona offers a mix of short-term focused work and longer-term support depending on the issue.
She has experience helping people with issues such as ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, caregiving stress, and difficulties arising from family of origin problems. She also works with concerns including immigration, HIV and AIDS, and forgiveness and guilt.
Fiona works in the United Kingdom and carries out her practice in English. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and book a first session.
How her approaches can work in online counselling
Fiona combines client-centred talking therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings to the session and on listening without directing the conversation; it suits people who want space to reflect and make decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to try out new ways of responding to problems. Attachment-based work explores how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings of closeness, trust and conflict.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps shape whether the work is more short-term and focused or more open and exploratory.
The original biography did not list supported session formats, so please check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to choose whether to use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt materials and exercises to work well across different session types.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
