About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years' experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Fiona offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or parenting pressures.
Fiona listens carefully and helps people talk through what matters most. Sessions focus on understanding thoughts and patterns, and finding small changes that make daily life easier. She draws on a mix of talking approaches to suit each person's needs.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with a sexual abuse charity and specialist experience supporting people through fertility and pregnancy-related issues. She also provides counselling after traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss, and supports partners where needed. Fiona has worked with people from medical and emergency-service backgrounds and with those coping with chronic illness or caring responsibilities.
She uses this range of experience to recognise how stress can look different for different people. In sessions she combines methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-informed thinking and mindfulness. That mix helps people reduce unhelpful thinking, understand how past experiences shape the present, and develop calmer ways to relate to themselves and others.
People who choose Fiona tend to want straightforward help with parenting pressures, sleep and overthinking, relationship strain, grief, or trauma-related concerns. She aims to create a steady, respectful space to explore next steps together.

Online approaches for practical change and healing
Fiona commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can ease anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily states without reacting, which can help with stress and recurring worry.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fiona will talk with clients about goals and what feels most useful. Together they try different tools and adapt the approach as needs change, focusing on what helps in daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expression and use visual resources, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, journalling-style reflection or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around parenting, work and medical commitments.
