Adam Sutton-King, BACP

Adam Sutton-King works from a person-centred approach to counselling. He focuses on listening closely and following each person’s pace. Adam aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can start to talk about what feels hard and be heard without pressure.

He draws on five years of professional experience supporting people with stress and anxiety. He also helps with low mood, self-esteem and issues around intimacy and relationships. His practise includes concerns such as grief, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.

Sessions are shaped by what the client brings. Adam does not give directives or simple answers. Instead he reflects what he hears, offers gentle challenge when useful, and shares information that can help someone make sense of their situation.

Adam pays attention to relational patterns and attachment-related concerns, including abandonment and codependency. He can support people dealing with divorce and separation, blended family issues, infidelity and communication problems.

People who feel isolated, empty or overwhelmed by guilt and shame may find it helpful to work with him on rebuilding confidence and reconnecting with strengths. He also offers support for LGBT concerns and issues tied to family of origin and forgiveness.

Adam is registered with the BACP, works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He uses a client-led style that aims to empower people to make changes that feel right to them.

Client-centred care and online sessions

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and supports the client to find their own solutions. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship problems and grief by focusing on the client's experience and inner strengths.

That same client-led attitude guides online work. Sessions begin by understanding the person's goals and preferences, then adapting the way of working to suit those needs. Together the client and therapist decide what feels most helpful and adjust the approach over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, live chat fits those who prefer typing, and messaging offers ongoing brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and health needs.

Registered or accredited professionals offer online therapy and can use these formats to support people across a range of concerns. The therapist will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approach and format for each person.
