About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on five years of clinical practice to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. Fiona writes simply and listens closely to understand what is happening for each person.
Her background includes work with a sexual abuse charity and specialised support around fertility, pregnancy and post-pregnancy trauma.
How Fiona works
She is also a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association, which informs her approach to reproductive loss and related distress. Fiona uses a blend of approaches including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, challenge negative thoughts and develop new coping habits.
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past experiences affect current feelings. She has supported people affected by sleep disruption, panic, flashbacks and self-esteem difficulties, and has experience talking with those who face long-term health issues or caregiving stress. Her style is warm and pragmatic, with an emphasis on making small changes that fit daily life.
Fiona offers conversations in plain language and works with each person to set realistic goals. She encourages pacing, compassion towards oneself and clear plans to manage symptoms between sessions.

How Fiona's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns, improve connection skills and reduce anxious responses in relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. In remote sessions Fiona helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them and try new behaviours that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and improve sleep and concentration. Short practices and gentle exercises are offered to use between sessions to steady mood and reduce stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. Plans are reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant to the person's needs.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good fit for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer to write or need flexible timing. These options support consistent work without the need to travel, and they let the therapist and client focus on practical steps and real-life challenges.
