About Adelle
Counsellor Adelle Gaskell is a member of NCPS with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses an integrative approach and lists Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy among the methods she draws on. Adelle helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting and other life changes.
Adelle offers one-to-one sessions that focus on what the client wants to change. She listens to the immediate concerns and looks at practical steps to manage symptoms such as panic, low mood or sleep problems. She also works on patterns that keep problems repeating, including issues from past relationships and trauma.
Her use of CBT may include looking at how thoughts and behaviours interact and trying small experiments to test different ways of coping. Client-Centred methods mean the client’s priorities shape the pace and topics of work rather than a fixed programme.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to bring awareness to long-standing patterns that cause distress. Solution-Focused work helps to identify small, achievable goals and build on what is already working in everyday life.
Adelle mentions support for a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and work-related stress. She also lists LGBT matters, bipolar and compassion fatigue among areas she addresses.
To begin, the site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. International clients may be considered and sessions are conducted in English.
How Adelle uses major approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s concerns and priorities. The counsellor listens and follows the areas the person wants to work on, helping them shape each session and decide the pace. This approach is useful for emotional support and for people who want to explore how they feel about relationships and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It often uses simple experiments and practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, panic and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will discuss how each method might help and agree a way forward together. That collaborative decision can change as issues shift or new goals appear.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats were not stated in the profile. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and offer a chance to speak from a familiar place. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can suit shorter check-ins or quieter sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that focuses on making sessions manageable within everyday routines.
