About Abigail
Abigail draws on several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. She uses existential ideas to explore meaning and choice. She brings Jungian perspectives to consider deeper patterns and personal symbols. Mindfulness and somatic work help people notice sensations and reduce overwhelm.
Her focus includes addiction, trauma and abuse, issues with intimacy, and family-related struggles. She also supports people facing fertility concerns, separation, infidelity and the long tail of grief. Practical coping skills are blended with reflective work about identity and values.
Abigail has four years' experience working with adults. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That registration is part of how she practices professionally in the UK.
People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative approach. Abigail will help set goals and review progress as therapy continues. The aim is to leave clients better able to manage anger, mood, relationships and life changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Existential therapy looks at choices, values and meaning in life. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to help people weigh options and clarify what matters to them. Jungian work attends to personal symbols, dreams and recurring themes in life, using narrative discussion to help people notice deeper patterns.Mindfulness and somatic techniques focus on bodily sensation and present-moment awareness. In an online setting these practices can involve guided breathing, simple grounding exercises and noticing patterns of tension that tie into stress or anger. These methods can help with anxiety, grief and reactions linked to trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then try approaches that suit those aims. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling fits into busy lives because it reduces travel and can be scheduled in shorter blocks or at quieter times. Online work also makes it simpler to keep continuity during life changes while focusing on emotional regulation, relationships and coping strategies.
