About Fiona
Fiona Grant, NCPS, offers calm, practical counselling that draws on evidence-informed approaches to help people feel steadier. She greets each person with respect and compassion, and works at a pace that suits them. Fiona focuses on building skills people can use between sessions to manage stress and feel more in control.
Fiona uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address anxiety, depression and obsessive thoughts. She also has experience helping people with addictions, motivation and low self-esteem. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her work includes supporting people through relationship strain, grief, life changes and parenting pressures. Fiona also lists a focus on ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and other long-term challenges. She aims to help people clarify priorities and take practical steps that reduce daily strain.
Fiona has four years of practice experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She will tailor conversations and strategies to each person’s needs, showing sensitivity to history and context. That means combining short-term skill-building with a longer view when needed.
People who choose to work with Fiona can expect straightforward language, clear goals and concrete tools. She encourages small changes that add up, and supports people while they practice new ways of coping. Booking begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling to suit the individual.

How Fiona’s approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thinking and behaviour and practising small changes that reduce symptoms over time; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and obsessive thoughts.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss different options and decide together which approach fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That means adapting techniques from ACT and CBT in a collaborative way rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings around work or caregiving, avoid travel time and make it easier to follow up with short check-ins when needed. Online work also supports using worksheets, behavioural experiments and value-focused activities between meetings to make progress in day-to-day life.
