Adam Davies

Adam Davies is a trainee psychotherapist and a registered student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He is currently working towards a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at The Awareness Centre and is completing his placement with NHS Talking Therapy in Sutton. Adam is developing his clinical experience by supporting adults presenting with a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety and workplace-related stress. His integrative training enables him to draw on different therapeutic approaches, tailoring therapy to the individual needs and goals of each client.

Adam believes that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most powerful tools for change and works to create a space where clients feel genuinely met, accepted, and free from judgement. Using Person-Centred principles as the foundation of his therapeutic work, he also draws on Gestalt techniques to help clients notice what is happening for them in the present moment, Transactional Analysis to explore unhelpful relational patterns, and Solution-Focused approaches when clients wish to move more quickly towards practical change. His integrative approach allows him to work flexibly, adapting his practice to what each individual needs rather than following a fixed formula. Adam values honest, collaborative conversations and supports clients in developing greater self-awareness, understanding the origins of their difficulties, and finding healthier, more sustainable ways of moving forward.

Before training as a psychotherapist, Adam spent many years as an HR Director and is a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Much of his work involved supporting people through difficult and often deeply personal conversations, including conflict, disclosure, distress, and organisational change. These experiences strengthened his belief in the value of authentic, relational conversations and continue to shape the way he works with clients. Adam has a particular interest in supporting people exploring questions of identity and sexuality, including self-acceptance and the challenges of navigating disclosure in both personal and professional life. His HR background also gives him first-hand insight into workplace stress, performance pressures, conflict, organisational politics, and the impact these experiences can have on anxiety and self-doubt. He works collaboratively with clients to better understand where their anxiety comes from, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a stronger, more secure sense of who they are. Across all aspects of his work, Adam is particularly drawn to supporting people who feel caught between who they are, who they want to be, and who they believe they are expected to be.
