About Sinead
Sinead Clarke-Adams offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She welcomes straightforward conversations and helps people find manageable steps forward. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at making therapy feel usable in day-to-day life.
Sinead is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. She has three years of professional experience working with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career-related stress.
How Sinead works
She draws mainly on a person-centred style, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sinead also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness tools when these fit the situation, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.
Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic abuse, addiction, eating disorder experiences, autism, and complex family problems. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and feelings of isolation. That range means she can adapt conversations and plans to suit different goals.
Sinead aims to tailor sessions so they are clear, direct and useful. She supports people who want to rebuild confidence, manage strong emotions, process loss, or work through difficult relationships. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical tools that can be used between sessions.

How Sinead brings therapy online
Sinead uses person-centred work that prioritises the individual's experience and what they find important. That means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping the person set goals that feel relevant to their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment coping skills like grounding and breathing when stress or strong emotions arise.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person's goals, preferences and day-to-day realities. Plans can be adapted as progress is made so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typing. This range helps fit therapy around work, family commitments and other routines.
