Sinead Clarke-Adams, BACP

Sinead Clarke-Adams is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience, offering compassionate, person-centered care informed by multiple therapeutic approaches. She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Sinead predominantly works from a client-centered stance, adapting sessions to include other modalities when they better serve a client's needs.

Sinead has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and childhood abuse, grief and loss, family and relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. She has experience working with survivors of domestic abuse and those affected by narcissistic behaviours, and has also worked with people who have a psychosis diagnosis or alcohol-related issues. Sinead brings lived experience of supporting someone with an eating disorder and with autism, and she attends sensitively to the effects of racism and Black Caribbean cultural issues where relevant.

She aims to treat every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each individual. Sinead frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports and empowers people to take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sinead draws primarily on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, with mindfulness techniques available when helpful. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a supportive space where a person can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; it is often helpful for building self-esteem, navigating relationship and family issues, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, or address unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sinead works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as the work progresses. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Sinead is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access support from home or another convenient location, reduce travel time, and allow sessions to fit around work, family, or other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
