About Fiona
Fiona Choi is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Fiona uses a collaborative, client-centred approach that draws on evidence-based techniques. She often uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside grounding and relaxation practices. Sessions focus on practical steps and small tools people can use between meetings.
Her work includes attention to attachment, feelings of emptiness, communication problems and difficulties with relationships and family dynamics. She also supports people who struggle with body image, shame, guilt and issues around abandonment or jealousy. Financial and immigration stresses are part of the problems she helps people talk through.
Fiona describes the client as the expert in their own life and aims to work alongside them. Conversations tend to be paced to suit each person, with space for skills practice and reflection. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more workable ways to cope with everyday pressures.
People who prefer sessions in Mandarin or Cantonese can choose those languages. To begin, prospective clients follow the directory process to match and book a first session. The counsellor asks about goals and current difficulties at the first meeting and discusses how she will work with those concerns.
How Fiona works with therapeutic approaches online
Fiona commonly blends cognitive behavioural techniques with grounding and relaxation work. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and help people try small, practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Grounding and relaxation practices teach simple breathing and body-based methods to reduce intense worry and bring attention back to the present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about your goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and your preferences, then suggest ways forward. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which tools and steps to use and adjust them as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in between other commitments. They also allow clients to practise grounding and relaxation techniques in everyday surroundings and bring real-life situations into discussion without needing to travel to an appointment.
