About Fiona

Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years of experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and begin to make changes that matter to them.

She uses a mix of talking therapies including cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed work. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and on tracing how past experiences influence today's reactions. Fiona also draws on mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Fiona has experience supporting people after trauma and sexual abuse and has worked with a sexual abuse charity. She also has a focus on fertility and pregnancy-related distress, including post-pregnancy trauma, traumatic birth, stillbirth and baby loss, and supports both mothers and partners through those issues.

Clients she has worked with include people from medical backgrounds and emergency services, and she is comfortable discussing workplace stresses and burnout. Her style combines practical techniques with space to reflect on deeper patterns that may be driving current difficulties.

Fiona works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Fiona’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong responses and supports building different ways of relating to others and to oneself.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and for reducing repetitive negative thinking.

Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. Simple breathing and attention exercises can reduce tension and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will discuss what feels most relevant and will adapt methods to a person's goals and preferences. That means trying things out and checking in about what helps and what needs changing.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to schedule a therapy session during a lunch break or between commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can offer online work that aims to blend practical skills with reflective space.
