About Abigail
Abigail Cruse is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction in difficult times. She frames conversations around what matters most to each person and helps them make choices that feel more authentic. Abigail uses everyday language and a steady presence to guide those who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Her approach also weaves in Jungian perspectives, looking at patterns, symbols and personal stories that shape how someone sees themselves.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to develop awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations so people can respond rather than react. Somatic and trauma-focused work is available when past experiences affect daily life. Abigail has four years of counselling experience and works with a broad range of concerns.
These include stress, anxiety, bereavement and loss, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, career questions and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to be direct and practical.
Abigail helps people notice patterns, try new responses and develop clearer choices. Conversations cover feelings, behaviour and the small steps that lead to change. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Appointments are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are held by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
How Existential and Mindfulness Approaches Work Online
Abigail combines existential thinking with mindfulness and trauma-aware techniques to help people looking for clearer direction. Existential work focuses on questions about choice, meaning and values so clients can identify what matters and make decisions that fit their life. Mindfulness practice teaches noticing thoughts and sensations to reduce reactivity and build steadier focus. Trauma-focused elements attend to how past events affect the body and day-to-day coping, offering ways to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of control.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the challenges you bring, then together you will try methods that suit your needs. That may mean blending existential reflection with short mindfulness exercises or using somatic techniques when the body holds strong emotion.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter plan is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity across remote locations.
