About Fiona
Fiona Brown is an AASW social worker with seven years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family tensions, trauma and abuse, and relationship problems. Fiona also supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and confidence.
Fiona uses clear, conversational work in sessions. She treats clients as the expert in their own story and focuses on strengths already present. Sessions are practical and aim to make daily life more manageable rather than using jargon or long theory explanations.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to help people notice patterns in close relationships. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Emotionally-focused ideas help when feelings have become hard to name or share.
Fiona has particular experience with issues that often sit alongside relationship strain, such as addiction, grief, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also has additional focus on adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family issues and family-of-origin problems. These areas often connect with codependency-related patterns that make putting oneself last feel automatic.
Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for adults. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Fiona’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work helps people recognise patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current responses. Online sessions can be used to reflect on recurring patterns and practise different responses in everyday life.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In remote sessions this often looks like the counsellor encouraging the client to set goals and steering conversation toward what feels most pressing for them.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fiona will work collaboratively to choose which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as practical steps and new insights emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to focus on specific skills such as breathing, thought-challenging exercises or practising how to say no in everyday situations.
