About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a BACP-registered psychotherapist and counsellor with five years' experience. She listens closely and helps people talk through worries such as anxiety, depression, panic and stress. Fiona also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and issues connected to LGBT identity.
Her practice mixes practical talking therapies with reflective work. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to address negative thinking patterns and mindfulness to help people calm busy minds.
Background and approach
Attachment-based and narrative approaches help people look at how past experiences shape present reactions. Fiona has worked in a sexual abuse charity and has a particular focus on fertility, pregnancy and post-pregnancy trauma. She supports people after traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss, and works with partners where needed.
She has also worked with clients from medical fields and emergency services. In sessions she aims to create a warm, accepting space where clients can explore feelings without judgement. Conversations are practical and down to earth, with a focus on understanding what is happening now and finding steps that help.
Fiona encourages small, achievable changes alongside deeper reflection. She works with people dealing with sleep problems, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career stress and life transitions. International clients can be seen, and sessions are delivered in English.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and book according to the therapist's scheduling process.

How Fiona uses talking therapies online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape responses now and helps people recognise patterns that affect close connections. This can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment worries and attachment concerns.Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress, and includes practical exercises clients can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as work unfolds. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Please confirm the available online session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow steady contact during life changes. Different ways of meeting can suit different needs - for example a shorter phone check-in when time is tight, or a full video session for a deeper conversation.
