About Abigail
Abigail De Almeida is a counsellor who supports people through difficult life moments. She has three years of experience helping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Abigail works in English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom.
She takes an integrative approach that draws on several methods. Sessions focus on listening first, then identifying small, practical steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations aim to make confusing feelings easier to name and manage, and to help people notice what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Abigail uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and take values-based actions. She also uses client-centred techniques to create a steady, non-judgemental space for talking. Some clients find hypnotherapy or psychodynamic work useful for deeper emotional patterns and memories.
Typical issues Abigail supports include relationship and family concerns, life changes, career stress, trauma and caregiver strain. She also works with feelings such as guilt, shame, emptiness and isolation. Sessions are practical and plainspoken, focused on small shifts that build over time.
Appointments are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed before scheduling.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. The choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve, so clients help shape what happens in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect that suit different days and schedules. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in fits a lunch break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, want quick reflections, or need brief ongoing support between longer sessions. Many people find the mix of formats helps therapy fit into everyday life.
