About Adama
Adama Giquina welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma or intense emotions. She keeps things straightforward and calm so people can talk through what matters most. Adama works to create a non-judgemental space where someone can be listened to and begin to make small changes that feel manageable.
Adama trained in therapeutic counselling and qualified in 2020 with a TC Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Background and approach
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows the BACP Ethical Framework in her work. She also practises in a sessional role at Survivors in Transition, where she completed her placement and continued to support people after qualifying. In sessions she helps people understand how their brain and body respond to stressful or painful events.
She uses grounding techniques and awareness exercises to help calm hyperarousal and build emotion regulation skills. Adama encourages linking past experiences to present reactions so clients can gain clearer self-awareness and make different choices. Her style is warm and accepting.
She offers undivided attention and aims to build trust through listening and gentle guidance. Adama adapts her approach to the individual and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. She has five years of experience working with a wide range of backgrounds and identities.
Adama is particularly experienced with immigration and multicultural concerns, sexual assault and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and supporting young adults as they navigate change. Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Adama aims to meet people where they are, helping them feel more confident and able to move toward the changes they want to make.

Online support
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and Adama treats it as collaborative. She will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction from different locations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for people who prefer written check-ins or want to reflect in their own time. These options make regular contact easier to maintain alongside work, study or family commitments and help people access a therapist from wherever they are in the United Kingdom.
