Fiona Sorotos, BACP

Fiona Sorotos is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem concerns. Fiona also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, sleeping problems and anger.

Her sessions are person-focused and conversational. She listens to what matters to the client and helps sort the immediate problem into manageable steps. Fiona uses practical exercises and discussion to build new ways of coping and improve day-to-day functioning.

Fiona draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past close relationships shape present reactions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavioural changes. Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want quick, goal-oriented work to address specific problems.

She is experienced with additional issues such as ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, family of origin problems, immigration-related stress and intimacy concerns. Fiona pays attention to communication patterns and practical relationship problems that show up at home and at work.

Her style is straightforward and steady. Sessions aim to be useful from the first meeting, with steps you can try between sessions. Fiona asks about current priorities and makes a plan that fits the client’s everyday life.

To begin she invites people to describe their main concern, then together they agree small, achievable goals and ways of checking progress.
