Adelle Liggitt, BACP

Adelle Liggitt is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports clients facing relationship strain and major life changes, including the challenges of chronic illness and pain. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Adelle works in a respectful, sensitive and compassionate way. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed script. She uses talking, reflection and practical techniques to help people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to reduce distress. She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to help people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and in how they cope with difficulty. These approaches are used together to suit the issue at hand.

With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Adelle tailors discussions and plans to each person. She pays attention to attachment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues around forgiveness and self-worth. She also helps those coping with isolation, social anxiety and panic attacks.

Adelle welcomes people who want to explore life purpose and make practical changes. She asks straightforward questions, listens closely and helps people try small steps between sessions. The aim is to make day-to-day life feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Adelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, and can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past patterns and relational themes to help people understand repeated reactions and improve how they relate to others and themselves.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Adelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is or is not helpful and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a tight day, or avoid travel when energy is limited. These practical benefits can help people sustain regular meetings and apply techniques between sessions.
