Adam Wynterborn, BACP

Adam Wynterborn uses a person-centred approach at the heart of his work. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Adam is a BACP counsellor and brings three years of professional experience to conversations about confidence, motivation and self-esteem.

He adapts sessions to each person rather than following a fixed script. That means conversations, reflections and practical steps are shaped around what someone needs that week. Adam also draws on elements of hypnotherapy and solution-focused work he has studied recently to broaden the ways he can help.

Common themes he supports include coping with life changes, panic attacks, attachment concerns and questions about life purpose. He also offers support around forgiveness, self-love and issues some men find hard to talk about. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices that fit their values.

Adam describes his manner as sensitive and respectful. He emphasises collaboration and clear goals so progress can be tracked in simple, concrete ways. Conversations may include short exercises, goal-setting and practical coping strategies.

People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is offered in a range of online formats to suit different needs and rhythms of life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Adam primarily practises person-centred work, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people steer sessions in the direction they find most useful. This approach helps with stress, low mood and relationship concerns by centring the person's own goals and experience.

He has also studied hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with anxiety, panic and motivation. Solution-focused work emphasises small, practical steps and clear goals to build momentum on specific problems like confidence or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's aims, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative way of working means plans can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face and use visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a short break in a busy day, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments, while keeping the focus on practical steps and personal goals.
