Welcome to
Adele's Counselling and Supervision Service
Counselling & Psychotherapy in Bridlington & Online
About Me
My name is Adele and I am a senior accredited BACP counsellor and psychotherapist based in Bridlington, dedicated to fostering mental well-being and emotional resilience in my clients.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Counselling Studies, achieving a 2:1 classification, and I earned a Postgraduate qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy with distinction, along with an Academic Achievement Award, from York St John University.
With over 15 years of extensive experience in both professional and voluntary settings, I have had the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide range of complex issues and conditions. My approach to counselling is informed by a deep understanding of therapeutic modalities, allowing me to tailor my techniques to the unique needs of each client.
My journey into counselling was profoundly influenced by my own life experiences, which ignited a passionate commitment to support others grappling with emotional and mental health challenges. I believe in creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings, ultimately empowering them to embark on their path to healing and personal growth.

Supervision
I'm really looking forward to welcoming you into supervision from June 2025. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel supported, safe and challenged thoughtfully and constructively.
Our work together will be shaped by Hawkins and Shohet's (1985) Seven-Eyed Supervision Model - a framework that takes into account not just your work with clients, but also your experiences as a practitioner, our supervisor relationship and the wider context that influences clinical practice. It offers seven different lenses to help us reflect deeply and flexibly on your work.
What I value most about this model is how it encourages us to stay curious and reflective, while attending to the broader systems around us - whether that's your workplace, your client's environment, or even the dynamics in the room between us. I hope this approach will help you grow in confidence, expand your clinical thinking and feel well-supported in your professional development.
At the heart of my supervisory practice are the values of:
- Congruence – authenticity and transparency in the supervisory relationship
- Creativity – encouraging innovative and flexible thinking
- Compassion – fostering empathy and emotional understanding
- Open Communication – creating a safe and trusting environment for dialogue
These values guide me in cultivating a reflective and collaborative supervision space where you will feel supported and empowered.
My overarching goal is to build a learning relationship that encompasses:
- Facilitation of professional and personal development
- Constructive feedback and evaluation
- Ethical awareness and discussion
- Attentive monitoring of clinical work
If you’re looking for a supervision experience grounded in reflection, relational depth, and professional integrity, I’d be delighted to connect.
