About Fiona
Fiona Choi is an ACA counsellor practising in Sydney, Australia, with 12 years of experience. She works with adults, adolescents and children from diverse cultural backgrounds. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and life changes.
Fiona describes a collaborative, client‑centred style that draws on people’s strengths. She often uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside grounding and relaxation exercises. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.
She has worked with people facing relationship and family difficulties, work‑life balance challenges, and identity or educational pressures in adolescents. Fiona also notes experience with behavioural concerns linked to ADHD in children, and with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidance and antisocial personality presentations.
Other areas she supports include body image, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, money and immigration issues. Life purpose and coping with emptiness or jealousy are also listed among her focus areas. The aim is to help people name what’s most pressing and try manageable steps forward.
Fiona asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. People considering therapy are encouraged to check which session formats are currently offered before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Fiona commonly uses cognitive behavioural approaches and grounding or relaxation techniques. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teach practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Grounding and relaxation methods are short exercises to reduce overwhelm and help with emotional regulation during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Fiona will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That means reviewing how techniques are working and adjusting the plan as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work and family commitments, allow quieter or lower‑stimulation check‑ins, or make it easier to keep regular appointments when travel is difficult. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what type of session length and rhythm will best suit day‑to‑day life.
