About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma and issues around parenting and intimacy. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
She offers practical, talk-based therapy that draws on a range of approaches. Fiona uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness techniques are included to help with worry and sleep problems.
Her background includes work with a sexual abuse charity and with infertility and pregnancy-related concerns. She has supported people after traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss, and has worked with clients from healthcare and emergency services. That experience informs how she responds to trauma and loss in everyday life.
In sessions she helps people name what is causing distress and then tries different ways to address it. That might mean looking at past attachment wounds, testing small changes in thinking, or practising short mindfulness exercises. The emphasis is on simple steps the person can use between meetings.
Fiona also works with issues such as grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, caregiver stress, abandonment and blended family difficulties. She describes herself as a counsellor who listens, reflects and helps people develop clearer self-awareness.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Fiona commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice repeated ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with the person about their goals and try different methods to see what helps. The process is gradual and adaptable, with the client and counsellor checking progress together and adjusting the focus as needed.
The biography does not list the exact online formats she offers, so please confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time for people with heavy schedules. For people who prefer not to be on camera, there are often alternatives that use less bandwidth or a briefer phone-style check-in; confirm which of these are available when you arrange your first session.
