About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Fiona aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and begin to make sense of their reactions.
She uses a range of approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and attachment-based ideas feature in her work alongside narrative and motivational interviewing techniques.
Background and approach
Fiona adapts these methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build new coping habits and understand how earlier experiences shape current responses. Her background includes work with a sexual abuse charity and considerable experience supporting people affected by fertility, pregnancy and postnatal trauma, including stillbirth and baby loss.
She has also worked with professionals from medical fields and emergency services, and with people facing chronic illness and caregiving strain. Sessions typically involve gentle conversation, practical strategies and reflective work to identify patterns that cause distress. Fiona pays attention to emotions that feel hard to name, and to relationship and intimacy issues that can affect daily life.
She offers online formats in English for people in different locations. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In an online session this can mean learning short exercises to challenge negative thinking and trying small behavioural experiments between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce overthinking and to improve sleep and stress management. These practices are easy to share over video or text and can be built into daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods collaboratively. That way the plan can be adjusted as progress is noticed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access for people in different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat supports short check-ins and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, medical commitments and caring responsibilities.
