About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and life upheaval. She offers calm, focused listening and practical ways to face distressing thoughts and sleep disruption. Fiona works with a wide range of concerns from low self-esteem and depression to grief and relationship difficulty.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based ideas and mindfulness to help clients understand patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Her style is conversational and down-to-earth. She will help you notice automatic thoughts and try small, manageable changes to break unhelpful cycles. Fiona has worked in a sexual abuse charity and has experience supporting people with fertility and pregnancy-related issues.
She also supports people after traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss, including partners. Her clinical work has included people from medical and emergency services backgrounds. In sessions she aims to build safety and trust so the underlying causes of distress can be looked at.
That may involve gentle exploration of past relationships, attachment issues or difficult memories when needed. She balances this with practical steps for coping in daily life. Sessions are offered in English and Fiona is available to work with international clients.
She uses a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and ongoing text-based messaging to fit different needs and lifestyles.
Approaches you can use online
Attachment-based work helps look at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses; it can be useful for people who have trust issues, abandonment worries or repeating relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural changes, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overthinking and calm the body during panic or stress.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. That collaborative approach means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy around work, medical commitments or busy family life. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in, video calls allow face-to-face conversation, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity when travel, shift work or health demands make in-person visits difficult.
