I currently have online/ telephone appointments available, please send me an email to enquire further :)

Hello, I'm Abi and thank you for viewing my profile :)

I am a qualified children's and young person's counsellor who is BACP registered. I work with children, young people and adults.

• Is life feeling too much to handle? 

• Do you know something's not quite right but can't put your finger on it? 

• Are you feeling lonely, even when surrounded by friends and family? 

• Are you tired of being misunderstood and not being listened to? 

• Maybe you're a worried/ concerned parent not knowing where to start?

Working as a person -centred counsellor means I am non directive in my approach. I am not the counsellor to set you homework and tell you what to do. This may seem strange if you haven’t had counselling before but I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I want you to feel empowered on this journey we go on together.  This doesn’t mean I won’t offer advice if I feel it’s helpful to you. In fact grounding exercises, physiological education and mindfulness can be extremely effective tools to learn and master.

The relationship we build in our therapeutic work together is important in assisting change. You need to feel comfortable and at ease in the relationship in order to facilitate this change. It is therefore important that you are met with acceptance, empathy and transparency which I strive to offer all my clients.

I will listen to you attentively and ask you questions in order to gain an understanding of how things are for you. This allows me to put myself in your shoes and see things from your perspective. I strive to offer a space which allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings freely without the fear of judgement.

I am passionate about working with clients who have experienced trauma. Now you may be thinking “well that's just not me”, but hear me out, trauma means going through a very stressful, distressing or frightening event. What's traumatic for you, may not be traumatic to someone else and my job is to validate and empathise with your experience.

I have experience working with adults, young people and children. I am currently working remotely/ online, running my private counselling business.

**I am currently offering online and telephone counselling to children 11+ years and adults.**

I offer a free telephone consultation lasting approximately 15 minutes.  This is basically an informal chat giving you the opportunity to tell me a little bit about yourself and what you would like from the sessions. 

I'll give you an outline on how I work and you'll have the opportunity to ask me any questions/ concerns that you have about starting counselling.

If you feel that we could work together and would like to proceed, we can book you in for your first appointment.
