About Adama Giquina
Adama has worked as a sessional counsellor at Survivors in Transition since completing her placement there five years ago. Her approach prioritises a non-judgemental, accepting space where individuals can explore how past events influence their present responses. She helps people make sense of what has happened to them, identifies links between earlier experiences and current patterns, and supports increased self-awareness about identity and the changes a person wants to make.
In session Adama offers grounding techniques and awareness exercises aimed at helping people come down from hyperarousal and develop emotion regulation skills. Her therapeutic practice is informed by a range of approaches, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. She adapts her work to meet each person where they are and tailors dialogue and treatment plans to individual needs.
Adama welcomes clients from diverse cultural, ethnic, socioeconomic, gender expression, and sexual orientation backgrounds, and she also focuses on immigration-related and multicultural concerns, sexual assault and abuse, and young adult issues. With five years of experience, she aims to build trust through undivided attention, compassion, and a steady commitment to helping people move toward greater confidence and healthier patterns of living.

Could Online Therapy Fit Your Needs?
Many people wonder whether remote counselling can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions - online therapy is often experienced as offering outcomes comparable to in-person work, and it can be a practical option for those seeking support.
One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules or to access care from different locations.
Licensed professionals deliver remote sessions, and individuals may switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many, online therapy provides an accessible, effective route to explore challenges, practice coping strategies, and work toward personal goals with professional guidance.
