About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She also supports clients with eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career uncertainty and ADHD related concerns.
Her approach blends talking therapies with practical techniques. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness to help slow down racing thoughts. Attachment-based and narrative ways of working help people understand how earlier relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions focus on making sense of what is happening now while tracing links back to earlier experience when useful. Fiona draws on experience from a sexual abuse charity and work with fertility and pregnancy-related distress. She has experience counselling people after traumatic births, stillbirth and baby loss, and she supports partners as well as new mothers where relevant.
She has worked with people who have medical roles and with emergency service staff, and she brings that practical experience into sessions. Fiona aims to help clients identify the issues that cause distress and to try different coping strategies in the room.
People meet to talk through specific problems and to test new ways of responding. Fiona will listen, reflect and offer approaches from CBT, mindfulness, attachment-led thinking and narrative work to help people find clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.
Online sessions using CBT, mindfulness and attachment ideas
Fiona uses a mix of cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness practice and attachment-based ways of working. CBT helps spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns so people can try alternatives. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage racing thoughts and stress. Attachment-based approaches look at how earlier relationships influence current reactions and help people understand triggers.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Fiona will discuss goals and preferences and then try different methods together. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client review what helps and adjust the approach over time.
