I work with a wide range of diverse needs and people, but particularly those struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, poor self-esteem and the feeling that they are just not good enough. Many of the people I work with find themselves feeling constantly anxious - worrying about what other people think of them, trying to keep everyone happy or believing they are flawed and not good enough. They are often exhausted and frustrated that they can't find a way to break free from this.

I realise that making the decision to come to counselling can be frightening or tough. Eventually an event, a situation or living with relationship difficulties, anxiety, low mood, or sadness can lead you to consider this option. You have the choice to live in a more comfortable way and I can help you with this. I work with couples and individuals, I care deeply about the work I do and the journey we take together. We will look at the issues and feelings that are present for you, provide a holding place to understand and work through them. This will lead you to start to feel the benefit of real change in you and your relationships.

Hi, thank you for stopping by. If you experience the world deeply or process things differently, my approach may feel supportive. I work with adults experiencing burnout, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship issues, masking and disconnection from themselves. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, highly sensitive or creative people who have spent years adapting to others' expectations while losing touch with their own needs. Living with this depth of feeling and awareness can be a strength, but it can also leave you feeling exhausted, misunderstood or unsure of who you are beneath the roles you have learned to play.

You can then decide how to proceed which can begin the process of feeling empowered to make changes for a better future for yourself, your friends and family.
We are all products of our upbringing and experiences and sometimes this can lead to problems in the present. Anxiety, low self esteem and not feeling good in relationships for example. I can work with you to unravel what this is about and help you find new ways of coping and moving forwards. We can talk or use creative methods to facilitate this discovery process. I work with young people, adults and couples and the work is all driven by you and on your terms. I offer a free, initial meeting so you can decide if I am the right Counsellor for you.

Whatever issues you are facing right now, I offer a safe, confidential and judgement-free space in which we can reflect on them and, by better understanding your conflicts and experiences, grow in self-awareness and autonomy. I believe in the importance of building a trusting relationship with my clients, so that we can work together toward constructing meaningful relationships. Talking freely about whatever comes to mind is the main way to explore what is beyond our logical, rational mind.

Hi, I’m Abi, I’m a qualified and trauma-informed, Psychotherapeutic Integrative Counsellor and Supervisor, which means I'm trained in several different types of therapy. My core approach is Person-Centred because it is my absolute belief that you are the expert on you. There is no level of sadness or worry that means therapy is right for you, our experiences and our responses are unique so the route through those feelings is also very personal. We can’t change the past but we can change how much control it has over us, our relationships and our decisions in the present.

Has contact with family broken down, or become fractured?
I'm a qualified relational psychotherapist and coach. I draw on psychodynamic, attachment and systemic approaches to understand how you came to be who you are, how your past shapes your present, and what's quietly keeping you stuck. I blend therapy with coaching, alongside somatic and creative practices, to turn that awareness into practical change.

As someone who experienced a profound alignment to my artistic path and community in recent years after what felt like a lifetime of painful trial and error, I am particularly invested in helping individuals who wish to self-actualise any frustrated creative potential or uncover a calling. The transpersonal aspect of psychotherapy deals with a spiritual dimension of the human experience (not necessarily one that is religious) and in this capacity I hope to assist with people undergoing spiritual emergency.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
