About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience offering talking therapy to people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She presents herself as a calm listener and helps clients untangle worries that are affecting sleep, mood or day-to-day functioning. Fiona mentions particular experience around fertility, pregnancy and post-pregnancy trauma, and she has worked in a sexual abuse charity.
Her approach combines a few different ways of working so sessions can be tailored to the person. Fiona draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, attachment-focused ideas and narrative techniques to look at patterns in thinking and relationships. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck.
In the room she aims to create a supportive space where people can talk openly. She helps identify the thoughts and situations that keep problems going and then works with clients to try practical alternatives. Sleep problems and overthinking are commonly addressed with straightforward strategies and slower-paced reflection.
Fiona has also worked with people from medical professions and emergency services, and she names compassion fatigue, chronic illness and caregiver stress among her focus areas. She is a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association and holds the BACP credential listed above.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, the site matching process is used to connect people and arrange the first appointment according to the therapist's schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Fiona uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by breaking worries into smaller parts and trying simple experiments to test them.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help when difficulties with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems are getting in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques if something feels unhelpful.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also makes it easier to keep shorter check-ins or choose phone rather than video when bandwidth or camera use is a concern.
