About Abigail
Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor who helps people deal with relationship and family difficulties. She supports those facing depression, anxiety, grief, addiction and trauma. She also works with clients who struggle with self-esteem, anger, intimacy and parenting concerns. Abigail speaks English and Twi and practices in the United Kingdom.
With 19 years of experience, Abigail brings a client-centred style to sessions. She listens and follows the person’s pace, creating space to talk honestly about painful experiences. Her background includes many years supporting women and families before training as a professional counsellor and becoming a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Abigail uses a blend of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and emotionally focused work to address connection and closeness in relationships. Psychodynamic ideas inform deeper exploration of past events and recurring patterns.
People meet her for a wide range of difficulties, including domestic violence, bereavement, childhood abuse and work-related stress. She also supports those managing life changes, caregiver strain, codependency and substance concerns. Sessions aim to clarify what matters, reduce distress and build practical ways forward.
Abigail describes her rooms as a safe space to explore fears and needs. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking.
How Abigail’s approaches translate to online work
Abigail draws on attachment-based work to examine how early bonds influence current relationships, helping people notice patterns in how they connect and withdraw. She also uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on listening, acceptance and helping clients articulate their own goals and decisions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical steps to change behaviours and mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Abigail works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs and goals. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the approach over time to keep progress moving.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during busy days or offering a choice about being on camera. These practical benefits help many people maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family and other commitments.
