Sinead Clarke-Adams
A person-centred counsellor focused on practical support
About Sinead
Sinead Clarke-Adams meets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or alone and seeks to create a steady, respectful space to talk things through. She aims to help with everyday pressures and deeper hurts using plain language and a calm presence. Sinead presents as warm and straightforward, focusing on what a person needs now rather than jargon or long explanations.
She works from a person-centred stance, which means conversations follow the person rather than a script.
Background and approach
That approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression because it makes time for what matters to each person. Sinead can also draw on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thoughts and practical changes when needed.
Sinead has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, grief and the long effects of difficult relationships. She has also worked with people dealing with addiction, eating difficulties and psychosis.
She pays attention to lived experience and cultural context, and she aims to tailor conversation and planning to each person. Typical sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort, with a focus on clear next steps when that feels helpful. Sinead describes her role as supportive and empowering rather than directive.
People who come to Sinead often want practical ways to cope and clearer thinking about their next steps. She offers several online formats to make regular contact easier around work, family and other commitments.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Sinead often uses a person-centred approach, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the individual. This approach helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings, build trust and decide on next steps at their own pace.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in daily routines. CBT-style tools can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problem-solving between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to agree what feels right based on symptoms, goals and preferences. That may mean combining ways of working and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy with Sinead is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies and fitting therapy into busy days.
These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact around work, family and other commitments while still working towards clear goals with a professional counsellor.
