About Sinead

Sinead Clarke-Adams is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She uses straightforward language and aims to make the first steps easier for someone feeling overwhelmed. Her approach is warm and respectful, with a focus on practical support and listening.

She works from a person-centred stance, which means clients are listened to without judgement and their priorities guide the pace of work.

Background and approach

Sinead also blends other methods where helpful, including trauma-focused approaches and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and patterns. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as depression, relationship and family strains, intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, anger and coping with life changes.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, eating and food-related issues, and the effects of domestic violence and infidelity. She also supports people facing isolation, substance-related problems and questions about life purpose. Sinead has three years of professional experience and is a BACP member.

She has experience supporting people who have experienced childhood trauma, survivors of domestic abuse, and those who identify as autistic or have lived experience of an eating disorder. She will tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. Her aim is to offer steady, practical support so clients can make workable changes.

She invites people to take one small step and will work collaboratively to find what helps them move forward.

How Sinead uses therapeutic approaches online

Trauma-focused therapy helps people address the effects of past harm by stabilising distressing memories and building coping strategies. It can be useful for those who carry strong emotional reactions or intrusive memories after difficult events.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the client's priorities and helps them find their own solutions and strengths.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often involves short exercises and small tasks that can be done between sessions to build new habits.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and might combine methods to suit the person. The aim is to work together to find what helps most, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins and text messaging lets someone reflect in writing. These formats offer flexibility and practical ways to keep therapy going when life is full.
