“Every moment is a fresh beginning”

Hello & Welcome

My name is Abigail and I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor based in Suffolk offering one-to-one counselling.

It can feel daunting to embark on a therapy journey and taking the first step is often the bravest.

I am mindful of this and will help you to feel relaxed, comfortable and at ease.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused or stuck, I can help you to talk and process your emotions and experiences.

Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and others can provide clarity and a greater sense of balance in your life.

“We are all a perfectly imperfect work in progress”

A bit about me

I am passionate about supporting people through their challenges and I have seen first-hand just how life-changing counselling can be.
Within my practice I create a safe and inclusive environment with my genuine, empathetic and non-judgemental nature.
I work in a warm, calm and supportive way, building trust and helping you feel heard and understood.
Prior to being a counsellor, I worked for many years in social care and education with young people and adults and I care deeply about what I do.
On a personal level I have been on a journey of highs and lows, helping me to genuinely understand the challenges that my clients may experience.

Issues I can help with

I have training and experience covering many issues. These are some of the areas I can support you with:

Abuse

Addiction

Adult & childhood trauma

Anxiety

Bereavement & grief

Depression

Divorce & relationship issues

Phobias

Physical health challenges

Self-esteem & confidence issues

Stress

Therapies Offered

Person Centred

Within the person-centred approach the client is seen as the expert on themselves. The counsellor assists the client in exploring aspects of their life they are finding troubling or challenging. It is non-directive, helping the client to feel in control of the content and pace of the sessions. The counsellor adheres to three core conditions to create a safe and supportive environment, which are empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. This helps the client achieve greater self-understanding and self-awareness, helping them grow or implement change.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on a client’s immediate problems whilst using their past to make sense of current issues. The counsellor helps the client to unravel, identify and understand those memories, experiences and feelings. This can help the client understand more about themselves and their relationship with others. Perhaps they may come to terms with things that can’t be changed, or they may discover the strength and resources necessary to make changes and move forward with their life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT can help clients manage their problems by changing how they think and behave. Our thoughts influence our feelings, emotions, behaviour and physical symptoms. The counsellor can support the client to break down their problems into smaller and more manageable parts. Changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours and learning new strategies and tools can help clients manage their problems and bring about positive change.

How I deliver therapy

How I deliver therapy

I work with adults 18 and over.
Sessions are available online via Zoom, WhatsApp and telephone.
We can work together on a short or long-term basis to suit your needs.
Many clients prefer phone or online counselling, as it fits in with their busy lives. By connecting with you in your environment, you can relax, knowing you have chosen a safe and confidential place to talk.
Appointments are one hour long and take place weekly on the same day and at the same time. We can discuss this further if it doesn’t suit your needs.
