Hi, I’m Abi. I’m an accredited, experienced, trauma-informed Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Supervisor. My work is person-centred and informed by IFS, but most importantly, I believe that you are the expert on you. There is no level of sadness, anxiety or distress you need to reach before therapy is “for you”. Our experiences and responses are unique, so the way through them will be personal too. We can’t change what has happened, but we can explore the ways the past continues to shape how you feel, your relationships and the choices you make today.
However difficult things may feel, I’ll be alongside you with compassion, curiosity and, at times, gentle challenge. I draw on IFS, somatic awareness and other therapeutic approaches, adapting our work to what you need rather than expecting you to fit a particular model. We’ll work collaboratively, at a pace that feels manageable and at the speed of trust.
I know from my own experience that even looking for a therapist can feel like a big step. If looking is as far as you get today, that’s okay. Trusting a stranger with the things that matter to you can take time. If something here feels like it might fit, I’d love to hear from you. I warmly welcome neurodivergent clients and those who have felt misunderstood.

All sessions are 50 minutes at £75, but I understand that therapy is an investment so a limited number of reduced cost sessions are also available for those with a lower income. Initial sessions are paid in advance by bank transfer, ongoing sessions should be paid within 7 days of the appointment.

My core approach is Person-Centred: you are the expert on you. I integrate IFS-informed, somatic and creative approaches, using felt sense, metaphor and imagery where helpful. There is no formula for therapy; we find what works for you. The relationship between us is fundamental, so our first session is also a chance for you to decide whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
