Sinead Clarke-Adams , BACP

Sinead Clarke-Adams offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She works with individuals who are struggling with self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Sinead uses a respectful, person-centred way of working and shapes conversations to each person’s needs.

Sinead is a BACP member and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She draws on a mainly person-centred approach while also using other methods when they suit the person’s goals. In sessions she listens closely and helps people make sense of what matters to them.

Her work covers a wide range of issues, including family problems, anger, coping with loss, career decisions and isolation. She also supports people dealing with body image, addiction and eating-related concerns, and with attachment or abandonment worries. Sinead has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence and narcissistic behaviours.

She has worked with people who have a diagnosis of psychosis and with those on the autism spectrum, and also draws on personal lived experience around eating disorders and autism to inform her empathy. Sinead aims to tailor dialogue and any agreed plan so it fits each person’s situation.

People can expect straightforward conversation, practical coping ideas and a focus on what matters most to them. Sinead frames steps small enough to try between sessions and checks in to adapt the plan as needed.

How Sinead applies approaches online

Sinead often blends person-centred work with specific methods to meet goals. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment, which can help with stress, rumination and emotional regulation.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will discuss your needs, preferences and goals and together you will try methods that fit. Plans are reviewed and adapted as progress is made so the work stays relevant to what you want to achieve.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief written check-ins when that suits better. These options aim to offer flexibility and help therapy fit around work, childcare and other daily demands.
