About Fiona
Fiona Choi is an ACA counsellor with 12 years' experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Fiona offers practical support for life changes and helps clients find clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.
Fiona uses a collaborative, client-centred style that focuses on individual strengths. She believes people already carry resources that can help them cope and grow. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How Fiona works
Her work commonly addresses emotional regulation, communication problems and family-related concerns. Fiona also helps people dealing with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and those struggling with body image or identity questions. She pays attention to how attachment and past abandonment can shape present relationships.
Fiona often draws on cognitive frameworks alongside grounding and relaxation strategies. These tools are used to build manageable steps, reduce overwhelming thoughts and learn calmer responses to stress. The focus is on skills that can be practised between sessions.
She provides therapy in English, Mandarin and Cantonese to suit different cultural backgrounds. Fiona aims to make each session a safe space to explore worries, test new ways of coping and set achievable goals for daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Fiona often uses cognitive approaches that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This involves identifying common thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and practising alternative ways of thinking to reduce distress.She also works with grounding and relaxation strategies to manage intense emotions. These are simple techniques you can use in the moment to reduce overwhelm and regain a steady pace of breathing and focus.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so it feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily routines and changing schedules.
