About Abigail
Abigail Holman is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She supports those coping with stress, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. Abigail aims to make the first step simpler by meeting people where they are and listening without judgement.
Her style is practical and human. Sessions are tailored to the person sitting opposite her, with a mix of talking, reflection and easy-to-use strategies.
Background and approach
Sometimes the work is about making sense of emotions and life choices. Other times it focuses on concrete steps to manage overthinking, sleep problems, low motivation or work-related pressure. Abigail draws on a range of approaches to suit different needs, including Existential therapy and Attachment-based ideas, alongside client-centred conversations and cognitive techniques.
She often uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Abigail holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of practice experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients for online sessions in English.
Sessions can take place via video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes fitting therapy around work and family life easier. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

Online support
How Abigail’s approaches translate to online therapy
Existential therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice and the concerns that feel most pressing. It helps when someone is questioning life direction, facing loss, or wanting clearer values to guide actions. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behaviour, and they can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail treats deciding together as a collaborative process in sessions. She will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until you find what fits best, adjusting methods as you go.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical convenience. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, journalling-style updates, or days when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
