About Abigail
Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on relationship and family concerns. She works with people facing issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, addiction and stress. Abigail also helps with parenting strain, intimacy difficulties, anger and major life transitions.
She uses a client-centred approach as the core of her work. That means sessions start from the client's experience and move at a pace that feels right for them. Abigail combines this with other approaches like attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking to suit each person's needs.
People often come to her with trauma, abuse, bereavement or feelings of emptiness and shame. Abigail also supports those dealing with abandonment, codependency, communication problems and blended-family issues. She aims to make space for difficult feelings and to help clients find clearer ways forward.
Abigail has 19 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Before formal training she supported women and families for several years, and she has worked with clients referred by general practitioners.
In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and practical conversation. The goal is to help people feel heard, understand patterns that cause pain, and try manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centred therapy puts your experience at the heart of each session and helps build understanding and trust. It is useful for people struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or relationship worries because the counsellor follows your pace and concerns.Attachment-based work looks at how past bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This approach can help when people face intimacy problems, abandonment fears or recurring patterns in close relationships.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical ways to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress and some aspects of addiction recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Abigail treats that as a collaborative choice. She will discuss what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adapt methods to match goals and preferences.
Session formats were not detailed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins that do not require long commutes. Some approaches suit shorter practical check-ins, while others suit longer conversations; Abigail will help agree the best rhythm for sessions.
