Fiona Adams, BACP

Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She holds BACP registration and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship worries. Fiona responds calmly and directly when someone is feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

Fiona uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and attachment-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical alternatives. Narrative techniques are used to put difficult experiences into perspective and make sense of painful memories.

She has worked with people affected by trauma, including sexual abuse, and has experience with pregnancy and fertility-related counselling. That includes supporting people after traumatic birth, stillbirth and baby loss, and helping partners to process those experiences alongside mothers.

Many clients she has seen come from healthcare or emergency services backgrounds, and Fiona is used to the pressures those roles bring. She helps clients consider how work stress, compassion fatigue or chronic health issues affect mood, sleep and relationships, and supports realistic coping plans.

Fiona aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is happening now and look at roots from the past. Her way of working mixes short-term practical tools with deeper exploration so people can manage day-to-day symptoms while making longer term change.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online counselling

Attachment-based therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape how people connect now. Online work can help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In remote sessions clients often learn practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and break unhelpful thinking habits.

Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and build tolerance for difficult emotions. These techniques transfer easily to sessions and can be practised between meetings to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Fiona will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and she will adapt the mix as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and make it easier to join from work breaks or home routines. Talk to the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions can be scheduled in a way that works with daily commitments.
