ABOUT
Fearless Footsteps
I’m Ursula Adams - qualified Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, therapist, and founder of Fearless Footsteps.
​
With over 13 years of experience supporting individuals, youth, women, and couples across various sectors including mental health, domestic violence, trauma, and community services, I bring a deep commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and empowering space for healing and growth.
Our practice values confidentiality, respect, and empathy, ensuring a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings.
MISSION
Empowering Lives
​Fearless Footsteps was born from a personal journey of transformation and a passion for blending therapeutic support with the strength and grounding that nature, movement, and connection can bring. As a counsellor and coach, I work with individuals and couples to help them navigate life’s challenges, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their own sense of purpose, identity, and possibility.
​
I believe that every person holds the ability to move forward in life with courage — and sometimes we just need the right support to take that next step.
​
​
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and accept referrals under a GP Mental Health Care Plan. Eligible clients can access Medicare rebates for individual therapy sessions. I work with adults experiencing a range of mental health and relational concerns, using a trauma-informed and evidence-based approach. Please speak with your GP to discuss whether a Mental Health Care Plan is suitable for you.
My therapeutic style is warm, grounded, and client-led. I work from a trauma-informed and humanistic lens, meaning I walk alongside you without judgment, honouring your lived experience and helping you reconnect with your own strengths and values.
​
I draw on a variety of evidence-based modalities to best support your goals, including:
-
Narrative Therapy – helping separate you from the problem and re-author your story
-
Solution-Focused Therapy – focusing on your preferred future and building on what works
-
Gottman and Emotion Focussed therapy approaches - to support couples in building stronger emotional bonds and effective communication.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – exploring the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
-
Mindfulness-Based Practices – supporting awareness, grounding, and emotional regulation
-
Strengths-Based Approach – highlighting what’s already strong, not what’s wrong
-
Psychoeducation – providing insights and tools to help you understand yourself better
​
Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, trauma, self-worth, grief and loss, relationship challenges, or simply need someone to talk to, my role is to support you with compassion, clarity, and hope.
