About Ursula

Ursula Adams is an AASW social worker with 13 years' experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression and relationship pain. She works with individuals and couples, and offers calm, straightforward support for parenting concerns, grief, trauma and LGBTQ issues. Ursula keeps therapy simple and practical.

She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they think and feel. Conversations focus on clear steps clients can try between sessions, not jargon or lengthy theory.

Background and approach

Her background in social work includes a mix of approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work. Ursula draws on these to help people understand emotional patterns, improve connection and make values-based changes in daily life. Practical problems like sleep disruption, workplace stress or social anxiety are worked on with concrete strategies.

Relationship concerns such as communication problems, intimacy issues or infidelity are addressed through guided conversation and skills practice aimed at rebuilding trust and closeness. Sessions also support identity and life-stage issues for young adults and women, and help carers manage compassion fatigue. Ursula describes change as a step-by-step journey and stays alongside each person as they try new ways of coping.

Online support

How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change painful interaction patterns in relationships by focusing on emotions and attachment needs. It can support couples and individuals who want clearer connection and fewer repeated arguments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to live in line with personal values while accepting difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes where avoidance has become a problem.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns that shape how people relate today. It can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and attachment-related worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ursula will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat is handy for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
