About Adama
Adama Giquina is a counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk things through and begin to make sense of what they are experiencing. Adama completed a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2020 and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She follows the BACP Ethical Framework and brings five years of practice experience to her sessions.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps people understand how past events can affect day-to-day feelings and reactions. She uses grounding techniques and awareness exercises to help reduce hyper-arousal and to support emotional regulation. Conversations aim to build self-awareness so clients can recognise patterns and choose different responses.
Her style is warm and accepting, with a focus on listening with undivided attention and creating trust. Adama adapts her approach to each person and works to identify the changes they want to make. She prioritises practical steps that people can try between sessions.
Adama has worked in a community setting supporting survivors and has experience with trauma, relationship issues, intimacy-related concerns, anger, immigration and multicultural matters, and young adult issues. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through a range of online formats to fit different needs.
How Adama's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice ways they attach to others and develop more supported ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance so clients can find their own solutions; it suits people who need a calm, supportive space to talk things through.Adama also uses trauma-focused techniques to help people process distressing events and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. These methods often include grounding exercises and step-by-step pacing to manage intense feelings. Together, these approaches aim to increase self-awareness and practical coping skills rather than promising a fixed outcome.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Adama will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt her approach collaboratively. This might mean combining elements from different therapies to suit how someone responds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on what helps the individual most.
