Abbie Bond

As a qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, I specialise in helping individuals navigate through anxiety and depression. Through collaborative conversations, I work with clients to understand their struggles and explore effective ways to manage and overcome them. I acknowledge that anxiety and depression frequently accompany other concerns, such as stress, trauma, ADHD or Autism. My experience involves working with individuals dealing not only with anxiety and depression but also the added complexities that can arise from these challenges. 

In my practice, I customise my approach based on each individual's unique needs and preferences. I blend traditional talk therapy with creative techniques, offering alternative ways to explore and understand struggles beyond verbal communication.

Throughout our sessions, I aim to establish a safe and empathetic space where you can openly discuss thoughts and feelings without judgment. Recognizing that talking about challenges can be difficult, I provide creative avenues, such as art or writing or any other form of communication you prefer to help you express yourself and make sense of experiences.

My commitment is to create a comfortable, supportive environment for your journey. Together, we can explore various approaches to discover what works best for you.

Having faced my own share of life's difficulties, I truly understand the challenges that come with managing our thoughts and feelings during tough times. I've personally dealt with anxiety, depression, and the impact of addiction within my family. These experiences have given me insight into the complexities of handling emotions when life gets tough. Through therapy, I found that speaking with someone emotionally unattached provided me with a clearer perspective. This personal therapeutic journey, combined with the knowledge and tools I gained through my education and work, has been instrumental in my growth and enabling me to effectively navigate life's challenges.

I offer a free 30 minute consultation to give you an opportunity to discuss your needs, explore our counselling approach, and determine if our services align with your goals.
