Sinead Clarke-Adams , BACP

Sinead Clarke-Adams is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience and registered membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She predominantly works from a person centred stance, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's unique needs while drawing on additional modalities when appropriate.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and childhood abuse, and issues affecting self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people navigating relationship and family difficulties, intimacy and parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, and other life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and eating-related concerns, substance and alcohol issues, domestic violence and the aftermath of narcissistic behaviours, infidelity, hoarding, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Sinead has experience working with survivors of domestic abuse and with people who have received a psychosis diagnosis. She also has lived experience supporting those with eating disorders and with autism, which informs her empathetic and sensitive approach. Sinead aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion, supporting and empowering people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Person centred and CBT approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and acceptance. It is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring life changes, and processing grief or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers tools to address anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns by testing and reshaping thinking and actions.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with anxiety, trauma responses, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these methods effectively to remote formats while keeping the focus on personalized care and progress.
