Sinead Clarke-Adams , BACP

Sinead Clarke-Adams is a United Kingdom based counsellor with three years of professional experience, registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She works predominantly from a person-centred stance, offering a therapeutic space built on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while bringing in other evidence-informed approaches when they suit a client's needs.

Sinead supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and childhood abuse, grief and loss, family and relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and the effects of narcissistic behaviours. Her practice also covers intimacy-related issues, parenting and career concerns, anger, coping with life changes, and complex issues such as domestic violence and addiction. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and eating-related struggles, isolation and loneliness, and questions of life purpose.

She has experience working with survivors of domestic abuse and people who have received a psychosis diagnosis, and she brings lived experience supporting someone with an eating disorder and with autism. Sinead tailors dialogue and treatment plans to each person's unique needs, aiming to empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Person-Centred and Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Client-centred therapy places the person seeking help at the heart of the work, emphasising empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental relationship to support self-discovery and personal growth; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can help manage stress, reduce rumination, and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sinead works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the mix of person-centred listening and specific techniques so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access support, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or location constraints, and allow for different communication styles. Many clients find that a combination of synchronous and text-based sessions helps sustain progress between meetings while keeping therapy accessible and practical.
