About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years' practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She listens carefully and helps people talk through worries such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger and low self-esteem. She also works with relationship difficulties, grief, LGBT concerns, bipolar mood issues and adoption and foster care related matters.
Her background includes work in a sexual abuse charity and experience supporting people facing fertility and pregnancy challenges. She offers help for post-pregnancy trauma, traumatic birth, stillbirth and baby loss for mothers and partners. She has also worked with people from medical and emergency services backgrounds.
Fiona draws on several ways of working to meet practical needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based ideas and mindfulness to help with thinking patterns, relationships and grounding. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative approaches to help people clarify goals and reframe difficult stories.
In sessions she aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She helps clients identify what is causing distress and practises small steps to change unhelpful reactions. Fiona works collaboratively and adjusts her approach to fit each person's situation.
Her plain-speaking style suits people who want thoughtful, hands-on support. People looking for help with sleep problems, eating and body image, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD or managing life changes may find her approach useful. She offers work in English and accepts international clients.
How Fiona's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and how earlier bonds affect current feelings. Online conversations can track these patterns and help people practise different responses in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change them; it suits issues like anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different techniques and check in about what helps. This collaborative stance means plans can change as needs become clearer and progress is reviewed together.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, health appointments and caring responsibilities. It also allows shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful, and it removes travel time so sessions can be scheduled more flexibly during the week or between commitments.
