Fiona Adams , BACP

Fiona Adams is a professionally qualified psychotherapist and counsellor who offers attentive listening and reflective support to people facing a wide range of emotional difficulties. She works with anxiety, panic, stress, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and sexual abuse, helping clients to explore how these issues are affecting daily life and wellbeing.

Her clinical training includes person-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and she has broadened her practice to incorporate psychodynamic and attachment-informed approaches that can help uncover deeper patterns and increase self-awareness. Fiona also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness methods to support clients in managing negative thoughts and improving sleep and day-to-day functioning.

Fiona has direct experience working with a sexual abuse charity and specialises in fertility and pregnancy-related counselling. She supports people and their partners through post-pregnancy trauma, traumatic birth, stillbirth and baby loss, and she has worked extensively in private practice with clients from medical professions and emergency services including GPs, consultants, psychologists, nurses, armed forces personnel, police, paramedics and firefighters.

She provides a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can be heard and supported while identifying the issues that cause distress and working toward meaningful change. Fiona is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA)

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Fiona commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationships and how patterns of connection affect current emotions and relationships - it can be helpful for people struggling with attachment issues, abandonment, or relationship difficulties. CBT focuses on understanding and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical exercises to reduce overthinking and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Fiona works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore practical techniques and deeper emotional work to build insight and coping skills.

Online therapy with Fiona is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or mobility limits. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location while accommodating different communication preferences.
