About Abigail
Abigail Goodwin is a BACP counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She offers friendly, straightforward support for common struggles such as low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day pressures.
She brings 11 years of practice to her work and describes herself as an integrated counsellor.
Background and approach
That means she draws on more than one method and adapts the way she works to match each person’s needs. Sessions are based on conversation, gentle reflection and practical tools you can try between meetings. Abigail commonly uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working and strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
She explains options in simple terms and helps people pick techniques that suit their situation and goals. Her experience includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, parenting and family concerns, intimacy and relationship difficulties, eating and body-image worries, and chronic illness or pain. She also works with issues like compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, bereavement and separation.
Sessions take place in the United Kingdom and are offered in English. Abigail tailors conversations and plans to each person, focusing on respectful, non-judgemental dialogue and steady progress over time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and on choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and teaches practical skills for managing worry, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current connections, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will listen to your concerns and goals, explain different options, and collaborate on a plan that fits your needs and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while and adjusting if something else seems a better fit; the process is flexible and paced to what you find helpful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
