About Fiona

Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor who works from a practical, person-focused viewpoint. She draws on five years of experience to help people cope with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Fiona is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Fiona listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding.

Background and approach

Her clinical background combines cognitive behavioural ideas with attachment and psychodynamic thinking. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice thoughts and find small changes that make life feel more manageable. Fiona adapts methods to match each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula.

She has particular experience supporting people after pregnancy loss, traumatic births and fertility challenges, including work with a sexual abuse charity and membership of the British Infertility Counselling Association. Fiona has also worked with people from healthcare and emergency services backgrounds. People often come to her for help with sleep problems, anger, trauma reactions, grief and issues around identity or intimacy.

Sessions aim to build understanding, reduce overwhelm and create clearer steps forward.

Ways of working Fiona names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Fiona commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust and repeated relationship struggles.

She also brings mindfulness into sessions to help people notice moment-to-moment experience and reduce rumination. These methods are offered flexibly and Fiona will discuss which approaches fit a person’s needs and goals. Deciding on a strategy is a collaborative process, with adjustments made as understanding grows.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. This mix makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and other demands while keeping continuity of care.
