Fiona Adams
Compassionate psychotherapist for trauma and life change
About Fiona
Fiona Adams trained as a psychotherapist and counsellor and brings five years of clinical experience. She holds BACP membership, and she focuses on common problems like anxiety, stress, depression and relationship challenges. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her background includes work at a sexual abuse charity and practice in fertility and pregnancy counselling. That experience informs how she listens to people who have had traumatic births, stillbirth or baby loss.
Background and approach
She has worked with people from medical and emergency service backgrounds and with those navigating serious health conditions. In sessions she uses a blend of approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based ideas and mindfulness. She aims to help people notice patterns, understand reactions and try small changes that make life easier.
Conversations are paced to suit each person’s needs. Fiona pays attention to practical problems such as sleeping difficulties, eating concerns, anger and career stress. She also offers support around identity and LGBT matters, adoption and foster care questions, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Her style is calm and exploratory. She helps clients name what is causing distress, looks at how past experiences still affect the present, and works with them to build coping strategies. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people respond now. It helps when patterns from childhood affect closeness or trust in adult life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and improve sleep. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce rumination and bring more calm to stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will choose or adapt methods so sessions feel useful and relevant to the person’s life.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, while phone sessions suit people with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility and steady access to a therapist’s support.
