Abigail Borquaye

Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship and family concerns. She focuses on issues such as anger, depression, anxiety, grief and addiction. Abigail works with individuals and couples and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most.

She uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening first and then shaping the approach to each person’s needs. Abigail also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Her background includes many years supporting women and families before training in counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Abigail has nearly two decades of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, domestic violence and bereavement.

In sessions she aims to help clients untangle difficult emotions and make practical changes. Work might include looking at communication, setting boundaries, managing anger, or coping strategies for stress and low mood. The emphasis is on steady, realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

People can expect a warm, steady presence and a focus on building understanding. Abigail offers time to explore fears, find purpose and rebuild confidence after painful experiences.

How Abigail blends approaches for online counselling

Abigail commonly draws on client-centred work, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens closely and follows the persons lead, helping them feel heard and understood. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns formed in close relationships and how these patterns affect current connections. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Abigail will work together with the person to decide which ideas and techniques suit their goals and situation. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses, and adjustments are made to match changing needs.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce time spent on commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can help maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in a remote setting, focusing on communication, practical strategies and building emotional safety across sessions.
