About Fiona

Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years' experience. She holds BACP accreditation and aims to listen carefully and help people make sense of what is troubling them. Fiona works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression and relationship difficulties, and also supports people facing fertility, pregnancy and post-pregnancy trauma.

Her approach blends practical talking therapies with attention to past experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based ideas and mindfulness alongside narrative and motivational techniques. This mix helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, understand patterns from the past and develop new ways of coping.

Fiona often supports people dealing with sleep problems, panic, overthinking and low self-esteem. She has experience in settings that include a sexual abuse charity and work with clients from medical and emergency services backgrounds. She also has a specialist interest in the emotional impact of infertility, pregnancy loss and traumatic births.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Fiona aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through painful memories, current stresses or difficult decisions. She works at the pace each person needs and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

People choose Fiona when they want straightforward help with coping, clearer thinking about relationships or support after a traumatic event. She helps clients explore where unhelpful patterns began and how to change them, with tools drawn from several therapeutic ways of working.

How Fiona uses therapy approaches online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour; it helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating patterns in relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce rumination and calm the nervous system.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Fiona will discuss your goals, history and preferences and suggest which ideas to try first. Together you can adjust methods as therapy progresses so the work fits what you need at each stage.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to schedule sessions around work or caring duties and joining from a place that reduces travel time. Confirm the specific session options available before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helps them keep continuity during life changes and makes it easier to build therapy into a busy week.
