About Fiona

Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor registered with the BACP with five years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship concerns, and covers areas such as grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her practice focuses on helping people talk through symptoms that affect daily life. That includes panic, sleep problems, overthinking and low mood. She also supports those coping with fertility, pregnancy and post-pregnancy trauma, including stillbirth and baby loss.

Fiona combines several therapy styles to match what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle negative thoughts and practical patterns. She also uses attachment-based thinking and psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier life experiences influence present reactions.

She has experience working with people from medical and emergency services backgrounds and has worked in a sexual abuse charity. Fiona is a member of the British Infertility Counselling Association as well as the BACP.

Sessions aim to identify the issues causing distress and to explore ways to reduce their impact. Her approach mixes short-term practical work with deeper reflective work so people can understand triggers and find steadier ways to respond to anger and stress.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people understand why they feel threatened or shut down in certain situations and can aid work on anger that follows relational triggers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes to reduce stress and reactive responses. Mindfulness offers brief practices that build awareness of bodily sensations and urges, useful when someone feels overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Fiona will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences. That means trying practical techniques first or moving into longer reflection if early patterns seem rooted in earlier experiences.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and cutting travel time. If you need options that suit work breaks, quieter surroundings or a shorter check-in, confirm the exact session formats before booking to see what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals can use different approaches online, and Fiona will discuss what will best fit everyday life during an initial conversation.
