About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years of practice experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to listen carefully so people can talk through what is worrying them. Her approach is calm and straightforward, focused on helping someone feel understood and better able to manage day-to-day life.
Fiona offers help for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also works with issues around relationships, intimacy, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the strain of parenting.
Background and approach
People with questions about ADHD, bipolar mood changes, or caregiving stress may also find practical support here. Her background includes work at a sexual abuse charity and specialist training around fertility and pregnancy-related distress. She has supported people after traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss, and she has experience working with clients from medical and emergency services backgrounds.
This range has shaped a responsive, non-judgemental style. Fiona combines person-centred listening with methods drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic and attachment perspectives. She also draws on mindfulness and acceptance approaches to help with intrusive thoughts and sleep problems.
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going and on small, useful changes that fit into daily life. The first step is a short matching process and then arranging sessions that suit the person’s schedule. Fiona offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, and she will work collaboratively to find the right way forward.

How Fiona works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often helpful for anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep problems.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judging them. This can reduce overthinking and help with stress, sleep and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will ask about needs, goals and preferences and will choose methods together with the person. That shared planning helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in everyday life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. A therapist can suggest practical ways to structure sessions so they work alongside work, childcare and medical appointments.
