About Adelle

Adelle Gaskell helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life challenges using an integrative approach. She combines client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas, and uses solution-focused techniques where helpful. Adelle is a member of NCPS and has five years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Adelle explains things in plain terms and focuses on what a person wants to change. Sessions are one-to-one and are meant to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours that cause distress. She often works on areas such as relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family-related strain, bereavement and grief, and difficulties linked to trauma and abuse.

She also supports people dealing with addictions, sleeping and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem and career stress. For people living with bipolar symptoms, or facing life transitions such as menopause, she offers conversational work to help manage the practical and emotional effects.

Adelle draws from client-centred practice to place the person's priorities first, uses cognitive behavioural methods to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and refers to psychodynamic ideas to consider past experiences that influence current feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term, goal-directed sessions.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Clients can expect clear discussion about goals and steps to take between sessions. To start, the site matching and booking process is used to arrange the first appointment.

How Adelle uses different approaches in online work

Adelle uses client-centred ways of working to focus on what the person wants to address, helping them to talk things through and set priorities. This approach is useful for general emotional difficulties and relationship or parenting concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to try practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Adelle will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether client-centred listening, CBT tasks, psychodynamic reflection or short solution-focused sessions are most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the session formats available; the biography does not list specific formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity when circumstances make in-person meetings difficult, while letting the person and counsellor agree on the most helpful way to meet.
