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 conflict, parenting questions, relationships, trauma and abuse. Fiona also supports those wanting help with motivation, self‑esteem and confidence.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and on recognising the strengths a person already has. Fiona treats the person as the expert on their life and aims to make problem‑solving manageable rather than overwhelming.
Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client‑centred skills to keep the conversation grounded in a person's priorities. Fiona uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help with thoughts and habits, and she brings in mindfulness exercises when they suit someone's needs.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. Additional work includes adoption and foster care matters, blended family challenges, caregiver stress and communication problems.
Fiona aims to help people make small, realistic changes that fit their daily lives. She encourages clear goals and regular review so progress stays visible. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about practical next steps.
How Fiona uses evidence‑based approaches online
Fiona draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment‑Based Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment‑based ideas look at recurring relationship patterns and how early connections can shape reactions in adult relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Fiona will work with each person to agree which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and checking what helps most over a few sessions.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Practically, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts or travel, and it can allow shorter check‑ins when time is tight. It also lets people use strategies learned in therapy in their everyday environment without needing to travel to an appointment.
