About Fiona
Fiona Adams is a counsellor with five years' practice helping people talk through heavy emotions. She holds BACP registration which signals a professional commitment to ethical standards. Fiona aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so clients can say what matters without jargon.
She favours a mix of talking therapies that get to the root of problems. Sessions often look at how past experiences shape present reactions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practises ways to shift them.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are used to ground people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety or grief. Fiona has particular experience supporting people after pregnancy trauma, traumatic birth, stillbirth and baby loss, and she has worked with a sexual abuse charity. She has also worked with people from medical professions and emergency services, and with those facing fertility or pregnancy challenges.
These experiences inform her work with stress, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Her approach is conversational and reflective. She listens closely, asks practical questions, and offers simple exercises between sessions when they help.
Clients can expect a steady pace and gentle challenge rather than quick fixes. Fiona accepts clients internationally and runs sessions in English. Appointments can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and try methods that fit each person's needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter sessions or people who find written communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or medical appointments while still accessing a registered professional.
