About Abbie

Abbie Bonnett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She holds the NCPS credential and offers a calm, accepting space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Abbie identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community and brings that perspective into sessions when it is helpful to the client.

She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their thoughts and emotions. Sessions aim to build self-understanding and clearer ways of coping with life changes, stress, or overwhelming feelings. Abbie uses a client-centred style that keeps the person’s own goals at the heart of the work.

Her practice pays particular attention to identity and gender-related issues. She supports discussions about gender identity and the practical and emotional parts of transition, while explicitly avoiding any practice linked to conversion therapy.

Abbie also works with relationship and intimacy concerns. She has recently qualified in intimate partner relationships and can help explore communication, attachment, infidelity, neurodiversity, and non-monogamous dynamics in a therapeutic setting.

Other areas of focus include ADHD, obsessive and compulsive behaviours, panic, body image, shame and guilt, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Abbie practises a client-centred approach that focuses on the person in front of her. This way of working means sessions begin with the client's own concerns and priorities, and the counsellor mirrors back what she hears to help people understand their feelings and make choices. It suits issues where being heard and understood helps, such as gender identity questions, loneliness, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Abbie will discuss options with the client and adapt how she works based on their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process so plans can shift as people learn more about what helps them.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow people to join from different locations within the United Kingdom. It can also offer shorter check-ins or less need to be on camera if that helps someone manage energy or focus. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the practical setup to suit each person's day-to-day routine.
