About Abigail
Abigail Holman is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, bereavement and low self-confidence. She writes in a plain, friendly way and treats each person as another human being working through life’s hard bits. Abigail aims to make it easier to say what’s on your mind and to find practical steps forward.
She draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. Sometimes conversations focus on feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
Other times they centre on practical strategies for sleep, motivation or worry. Abigail works at a relaxed pace and adapts what she offers as things change. Her sessions are non-judgemental and tailored to the individual.
If someone is unsure what is wrong, she helps them notice patterns and name feelings. When a practical plan is useful, she offers simple tools to reduce overthinking and improve day-to-day functioning. Abigail has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She offers appointments in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients when appropriate. People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle curiosity and a focus on realistic steps. Abigail balances emotional understanding with concrete suggestions to help clients move through grief, manage stress or rebuild confidence.
Sessions can be arranged to suit different needs and routines. The work is collaborative - she listens, reflects and helps people decide what to try next.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss what seems most useful based on someone’s goals and preferences. She checks in and adapts the methods as progress is made, combining listening with practical exercises when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier on slower connections, chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship.
