About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP registration, and she offers a calm space for people to talk about painful or confusing experiences. Fiona aims to help people untangle overwhelming thoughts and find clearer ways to cope.
Her background includes work in a sexual abuse charity and counselling around fertility and pregnancy. She also supports people after traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss, and she has spent time working with clients from medical and emergency services. This range of work informs how she listens and responds.
Fiona blends several therapy styles in her sessions. She draws on person-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking. She also uses psychodynamic and attachment ideas to look at how early life or trauma can shape present reactions.
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment elements are part of her practical toolkit for stress, sleeping problems and rumination. Motivational techniques and narrative work help people rethink difficult choices and build forward momentum.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent while also exploring deeper patterns when clients are ready. People can expect clear, compassionate conversation and practical ways to try between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence feelings and reactions today. It helps people understand patterns in close connections and manage strong emotional responses.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems where changing thinking and behaviours can bring relief.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and lower stress. It is useful when worry and overthinking make it hard to rest or concentrate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches together. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they fit the person's needs.
The biography does not state which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make fitting therapy around busy days easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to involve exercises between meetings and to keep continuity when schedules change.
