About Adam

Adam Sutton-King is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and issues around self‑esteem. He also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, compassion fatigue and the effects of family problems including attachment and abandonment wounds.

Adam uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the centre of sessions. He listens, reflects and offers gentle challenge rather than giving advice. Sessions move at the client’s own pace and focus on what the person wants to bring to the room.

In therapy he helps people name patterns that affect their relationships and sense of self. He offers straightforward information when it helps make things clearer, and he works with strengths the client already has. Areas he often addresses include codependency, communication and control issues, commitment and infidelity struggles, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Guilt and shame are among the concerns Adam lists, and he helps people talk through those feelings alongside family of origin issues, forgiveness questions, and the practical effects of separation or blended family dynamics. He does not give directives but supports clients to find what feels right for them.

People can expect sessions that are reflective and honest. The tone is plain and focused on understanding what is happening now and what might change. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session through the online booking flow.

How client‑centred work translates to online sessions

Adam uses a person‑centred way of working online, which means the session is led by the client’s concerns and pace. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what the client says, and offering gentle challenge so people can make sense of difficult feelings like guilt or shame. It suits issues rooted in relationships, self‑worth and everyday stress.

That style aims to help people notice patterns and identify their own strengths. The therapist and client decide together which ways of working might help most, whether that means exploring family of origin issues, looking at communication patterns, or talking through feelings of abandonment and isolation. The choice of approach is a collaborative decision based on needs and preferences.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and avoid travel. It can also allow for shorter check‑ins when time is limited, or for sessions without video if that helps someone focus. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt session length and style to practical constraints while keeping the focus on what the client wants to address.
