Fiona Sorotos, BACP

Fiona Sorotos helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, grief, sleep problems and changes at work or home. Fiona has 12 years of experience and holds BACP registration, and she writes care plans to suit each person. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Fiona uses practical, goal-focused methods alongside longer-term ways of looking at relationships and attachment. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and client-centred listening to help people feel heard. Motivational and solution-focused ideas are used when someone needs a boost to make changes or cope with immediate problems. She also pays attention to how family of origin, caregiving roles and long-term illness can affect mental health. Issues such as ADHD, autism, communication breakdowns, infertility or infidelity, and immigration-related stress are within her remit of interests and experience. Fiona works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. People who choose to work with her can expect clear goals, practical strategies and steady support as they work towards calmer days and more manageable relationships.

How Fiona's approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It helps when intimacy issues, family of origin problems or attachment concerns leave someone feeling stuck or anxious in relationships. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions with empathetic listening and reflection to help them make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fiona will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful, combining techniques where helpful. Together they set goals and review what is working, adjusting the approach as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller dialogue is wanted. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need quick access between sessions, or want to reflect before they respond. These options help make regular therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
