Fiona Adams, BACP

Fiona Adams is a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people who are struggling with anxiety, panic, stress, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and sexual abuse, grief and loss, and a wide range of life transitions. Her work also covers issues such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her foundational training includes person-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Over time she has developed an integrative approach that draws on psychodynamic ideas, attachment-focused work, acceptance and commitment techniques (ACT), and mindfulness practices to help clients explore deeper patterns and build greater self-awareness. She also uses a range of counselling skills to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Fiona has specialist experience supporting people affected by fertility and pregnancy difficulties, including post-pregnancy trauma, traumatic birth, stillbirth and baby loss for mothers and partners. She has worked with a sexual abuse charity and has substantial experience with clients from medical and emergency service backgrounds, including GPs, consultants, psychologists, nurses, armed forces personnel, police, paramedics and firefighters.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA), and she accepts international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people explore attachment needs, repair relational wounds and build more secure ways of connecting with partners, family members and themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people develop tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress and unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering techniques to reduce overthinking, ease emotional reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Fiona works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals when appropriate to identify what fits best for a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts methods over time as the work progresses.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support from home or while travelling. These options offer flexibility for scheduling around work, family and medical commitments and allow regular conversations with a therapist even when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
