About Abigail
Abigail Holman is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, low mood, bereavement and relationship stress. She approaches sessions in a friendly, down-to-earth way and treats people as fellow humans rather than case files. Abigail aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.
She will tailor sessions to each person’s needs and meet them where they are. Some people want to talk things through to understand what’s underneath their feelings.
Background and approach
Others prefer practical tools to manage worry, sleep problems, overthinking and low motivation. Abigail uses straightforward strategies and everyday language in sessions. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings.
She also uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises are offered when practical steps will help reduce distress. Abigail holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP.
She has four years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and life changes. Sessions are available remotely by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for those who prefer online formats. People who choose her often want calm, clear conversation and doable strategies.
Abigail works collaboratively to set goals and to try different approaches until something fits. She also offers coaching-style support for career and motivation concerns.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Abigail uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early and current relationships affect how people respond to stress and anxiety. This can help when worries are tied up with fear of rejection or with patterns that repeat in close relationships.She also draws on client-centred counselling, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings without being pushed toward a fixed answer.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. Abigail will talk through options and try different methods based on your needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels helpful for you.
Online formats make regular contact easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let you see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions can work when video is not practical, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options aim to give flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caring duties and travel rather than replace in-person choice.
