Fiona Adams

Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years' experience helping people talk through anxiety, stress, anger and low self-esteem. She offers direct, compassionate support for depression, relationship difficulties and grief. Fiona also works with clients facing fertility and pregnancy challenges, including post-pregnancy trauma and baby loss. Her background includes work at a sexual abuse charity and with people who have medical and emergency-service roles. She holds BACP accreditation, and she is a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association. Fiona uses a mix of person-centred listening and practical techniques in sessions. In therapy she helps people identify the patterns behind upsetting thoughts and reactions. Fiona draws on attachment ideas to look at early relationships and how they shape current responses. She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to challenge unhelpful thinking and mindfulness to steady overwhelming emotions. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures. Fiona helps clients build coping strategies for sleep problems, panic, intrusive memories and the daily strain of stress. She works at the pace each person needs and encourages small goals that add up over time. Parents and carers who feel exhausted by constant worry often find the short-term tools helpful. Fiona aims to help people feel more in control and better able to make choices that suit their lives.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotional reactions and how to build more reliable ways of relating to others. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday life. It is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep problems and anger by teaching skills to change thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to notice sensations and thoughts without being swept away by them. It can reduce overthinking and make overwhelming feelings easier to ride out. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will adapt methods over time so the work fits the person's life and priorities. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Many people find online therapy helps fit talking therapy around work, childcare and medical appointments, or makes shorter check-ins easier to schedule. Others use it when they prefer not to travel for a session. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients make practical plans so therapy fits everyday routines rather than adding extra strain.
