Fiona Adams , BACP

Fiona Adams is a BACP-registered psychotherapist who brings a calm, reflective approach to supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief and loss, fertility and pregnancy-related distress, parenting and family issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Her background includes work in a sexual abuse charity and extensive practice with clients from medical and emergency service backgrounds, as well as specialised training in fertility and post-pregnancy trauma such as traumatic birth, stillbirth and baby loss for both mothers and partners.

Her training is rooted in person-centred principles and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and she has integrated psychodynamic and attachment-focused skills to support exploration of deeper patterns and early life influences. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping strategies. Fiona aims to create a compassionate space where clients feel heard and supported while identifying the issues driving distress and working collaboratively toward change.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA), reflecting her specialist work around fertility and perinatal matters. Fiona accepts new clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients, offering flexible support tailored to individual needs.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Fiona uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional responses - useful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours linked to anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a practical way to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce overthinking, supporting people managing panic, rumination, or caregiver fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Fiona works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss different options and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so clients feel involved in choosing what helps most.

Online therapy with Fiona is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health commitments. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations and at times that suit individual schedules, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and emotional support in a way that fits everyday life.
