Ursula Adams , AASW

Ursula Adams is an AASW social worker with 13 years' experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief and relationship concerns. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters and work toward practical change.

Ursula draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and commit to meaningful action.

Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform her work on intimacy and communication. These approaches help people understand patterns that affect close relationships and learn new ways of relating. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client's needs.

Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma, depression and grief, and working with LGBTQI clients on identity and relationship issues. Ursula also has experience with solution-focused and narrative techniques to highlight strengths and fresh perspectives.

Practical tools and small steps are part of sessions, along with time to reflect and feel heard. Ursula encourages clients to set realistic goals and notices progress along the way. If someone wants to work on self-esteem, career decisions, sleep problems or coping with major life changes, she offers a steady, compassionate presence.

Approaches that suit online and remote therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what they value and take small committed steps toward those values while managing difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviours to improve mood and sleep. It works well for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present behaviour and helps people change how they relate in close relationships and intimate partnerships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together with the client pick strategies that match goals, preferences and the issue at hand. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to get regular support around work, family commitments and everyday routines.
