About me
About Me
Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may find yourself carrying anxiety, self-doubt or difficult emotions for much longer than you’d like. Perhaps you’re struggling in your relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself, or unsure why the same patterns keep showing up.
As an experienced individual and couples counsellor, I offer a warm and supportive space where you can talk openly about what is happening in your life and relationships.
Having the opportunity to talk things through with someone outside of your family, friendships or relationship can bring a different perspective and a greater understanding of what may be contributing to how you are feeling.
My Practice
I offer counselling for adults, young people and couples.
Alongside individual therapy, I provide couples counselling for relationship difficulties, communication problems, conflict, trust issues and emotional disconnection. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help you better understand yourself, each other and the patterns within your relationship.
Sessions are available online and in person. Appointments are 50 or 60 minutes, depending on the type of therapy and your individual needs.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed and tailored to the individual or couple sitting in front of me. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to all.
Areas I Can Help With
I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship difficulties, couples counselling, emotional neglect, people pleasing, low self-esteem, stress, loneliness, loss, life transitions, and cultural or racial identity concerns. I also work with neurodivergent adults including those questioning whether they may be autistic or have ADHD.
You do not need to know exactly what is troubling you before starting therapy. Things may feel unclear or hard to put into words, and exploring these uncertainties can be an important part of the process.
Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy and whether working together feels like the right fit. You can email me at adele.kingc@gmail.com. I aim to reply within 24 hours, so please get in touch.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
