Meet The Founder : Adele Theron
Adele Theron is a trauma-informed psychological practitioner with over 20 years’ experience supporting more than 7,000 people through trauma, relationship breakdown, loss and some of life’s most challenging transitions.
With advanced training in trauma recovery, psychotherapy, coaching psychology and relationship therapy, Adele brings together psychological insight with practical, structured approaches to recovery. Her professional training includes Traumatic Studies, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy and specialist trauma certifications (CCTP, CFTP and CFFTP).
As Founder of Naked Recovery, Adele developed the recovery frameworks that underpin its programmes and oversees the clinical philosophy, practitioner standards and continued development of the Naked Recovery approach.
Her work is grounded in a simple principle: understanding what happened is important, but recovery also requires helping people translate insight into meaningful change.
