Fiona Choi

Fiona Choi is an ACA Level 4 counsellor practising in Sydney, Australia, with 12 years of experience. She works with adults, adolescents and children from diverse cultural backgrounds. Fiona speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and often supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and depression.

She helps people manage life changes and the everyday strain that follows moves, job changes and relationship shifts. Fiona also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, avoidant or antisocial personality patterns, body image and financial stress. Life purpose and feelings of emptiness are mentioned among the topics she helps clients talk through.

Her way of working is collaborative and client‑centred. She often uses cognitive behavioural frameworks alongside grounding and relaxation exercises. Sessions focus on practical skills to reduce overwhelm and clearer ways to cope day to day.

Fiona emphasises clients' existing strengths and aims to make each session purposeful and understandable. She describes therapy as a place to practise new responses, try different approaches to problems, and notice small changes over time.

People who feel stuck in work or life, unsure what matters next, or struggling after a change may find her approach useful. Fiona invites clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and a first session to clarify immediate goals and next steps.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Fiona commonly draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and grounding and relaxation techniques. Cognitive approaches break problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and help people try small, testable changes to patterns that cause distress. Grounding and relaxation methods focus on breath, body awareness and simple routines to reduce acute anxiety and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Fiona treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will discuss what feels practical and acceptable, then adapt techniques to the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single method.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. Some formats also let clients choose audio only when less bandwidth is available or a quicker, focused session is preferable. Fiona will talk through which session pattern best fits everyday life and the goals discussed in early meetings.
