Therapeutic approaches and online support
Abigail combines evidence-informed methods to address emotional and relational difficulties in ways that suit each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports steps toward a life guided by personal values; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships, exploring how early connections shape current bonds and helping with abandonment, intimacy, and family or relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of coping, which supports issues such as depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Abigail works collaboratively with clients to select and adapt methods based on their goals, preferences, and practical needs. She discusses options openly and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working together on meaningful change.
