About Fiona Adams
Fiona Adams is a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor who listens carefully and helps people explore the issues affecting their wellbeing. She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and panic, stress, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and sexual abuse, eating and sleeping problems, grief and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career pressures, and other life changes that can feel overwhelming.
Her clinical training includes person-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and she has adapted her style to draw on psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches to reach deeper emotional patterns and increase self-awareness. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques and mindfulness practices to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and develop more helpful ways of relating to their experience. In practice she aims to provide a nurturing space where people feel heard, accepted and able to reflect on their thoughts and feelings while working toward meaningful change.
Fiona has worked with issues arising from trauma, parental neglect and other adverse life events, and she has experience with a sexual abuse charity. She specialises in fertility and pregnancy-related concerns and supports people through post-pregnancy trauma, traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss for mothers and partners. Her private practice has included clients from medical and emergency service backgrounds including GPs, consultants, psychologists, nurses, armed forces personnel, police, paramedics and firefighters. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and of BICA, the British Infertility Counselling Association.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support
Fiona integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps when difficulties with trust, closeness or abandonment influence present relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood and stress, offering practical strategies for coping. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce habitual reactivity, which can be helpful for managing anxiety, overthinking and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic work. Fiona collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses so it remains relevant and effective for the client.
Online therapy with Fiona is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and combine therapeutic work with everyday responsibilities while still working with licensed professionals and therapists focused on the client's wellbeing.
