About Abigail Holman

Abigail Holman is a friendly, down-to-earth therapist based in the United Kingdom who approaches work from the standpoint of shared humanity. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and recognises the courage it takes to reach out for support, having faced her own life challenges and understood the vulnerability that can come with seeking help.

Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, with an emphasis on listening without judgement and helping people make sense of what they are feeling. Abigail works with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses related areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, communication problems, and codependency.

Where a practical approach is helpful, Abigail offers strategies to manage worry, overthinking, poor sleep, and low motivation, alongside explorations of underlying feelings when the source of distress is less clear. She holds BACP accreditation - a recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that indicates membership of a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and aims to work with clients to bring about steady, positive changes in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Abigail integrates several established approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, which can be helpful for people struggling with relationship difficulties, abandonment, or attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work - the therapist offers empathic, non-judgemental listening and follows the client's pace to help them explore feelings and make their own choices, useful for low self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical techniques to reduce worry, overthinking, and low motivation.

Finding the right fit is part of the process, and Abigail works collaboratively with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches best matches their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts methods over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Abigail is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from the United Kingdom or abroad and to continue therapy around work, family, or other commitments while working with a registered professional and an experienced therapist.
