Background and approach

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Abigail has a BACP credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes many years supporting women and families before qualifying as a counsellor.

She has worked with GP referrals and run drop-in sessions in west London, so she is familiar with common practical pressures people bring to therapy. People come to her for relationship issues, family conflict, parenting strain, loneliness, depression, bereavement and coping after abuse. She also supports those dealing with addictions, work stress, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes.

In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through fears and needs. Conversations can focus on past patterns that shape today or on practical steps for relief. The aim is to help each person discover what would make life feel more manageable and meaningful.

How Abigail’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and how they affect partnerships, trust and intimacy. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session and focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s goals. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of painful feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change thinking and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. It often includes practical exercises and short tasks to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and work with the client to choose what fits best for their needs and aims. That collaborative process can combine methods over time as things change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and have a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to attend regularly and keep therapy practical alongside everyday life.
