About Fiona
Fiona Brown is an AASW-accredited social worker with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. Her approach is straightforward and supportive for those taking first steps towards change.
Fiona works from a belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change. In sessions she listens closely and helps build practical steps you can try between appointments.
How Fiona works
She also supports people facing low mood, motivation difficulties and struggles with self-esteem. Fiona draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She combines this with client-centred care to keep the work focused on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want clearer, action-based strategies for stress or anxiety. She has additional focus on areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns and caregiver stress. Other topics she addresses include grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Fiona helps people set achievable goals and reviews progress regularly. She encourages small, sustainable changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotions. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice repetitive relationship responses and practise new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's self-discovery; it helps people feel heard and build their own solutions through empathetic, non-directive conversation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Fiona will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining attachment ideas with practical cognitive strategies, or prioritising listening and pacing if someone needs time to feel safe in sessions.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer practical benefits. Video suits longer, deeper conversations while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging can work for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to maintain alongside daily life.
