Abigail Oatway

I am qualified counsellor and clinical supervisor and a registered member of the BACP. I have been working therapeutically with adults and young people through a variety of organisations and in private practice for a number of years.

Working from a shepherds hut, in a peaceful, location, I offer a safe, confidential, friendly environment for young people and adults.

I believe the relationship between client and counsellor is of huge importance, and hope that offering acceptance, empathy and warmth, you will be able to explore and understand issues which are important to you.

Whatever it is that you are struggling with, being able to share it, be heard and understood without being judged can bring clarity hope and change. 

I work face to face, online and over the telephone and our work together can be short-term or open-ended. 

I trained in Humanistic counselling but work in an integrative way using different therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs. I can offer CBT tools as required.

My work is overseen by a fully qualified and accredited supervisor.

​I will always show you respect and ensure your best interest is at the heart of our work.

I have an up to date enhanced DBS check and am fully insured.

At the first session I will ask you in more detail about what has brought you to therapy, about your current circumstances such as relationships, support networks and details of your history.

You also have the opportunity to ask me questions about how I work and decide if I am the right therapist for you.

I am qualified counsellor and clinical supervisor and a registered member of the BACP. I have been working therapeutically with adults and young people through a variety of organisations and in private practice for a number of years.

I offer face to face supervision from a shepherds hut, in a peaceful, location as well as online or telephone. 

I have completed my Level 5 in Working with Children and Young People and am happy to supervise your clinical work with Young People.

It is my hope as a fully qualified, Humanistic Counsellor, and Supervisor that you experience a safe, supportive and confidential environment to explore your work with your clients.

I like to work collaboratively, exploring your work together, sharing insights and ideas that will enhance your client work, your private practice and your own development as a therapist.

I will aim to offer you supervision support which feels appropriate to you and your work.
