Abigail Holman, BACP

Abigail Holman is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who helps people facing relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, career crossroads, ADHD, stress and anxiety. She also supports those living with bipolar disorder, depression and people coping with life changes or compassion fatigue. Abigail writes in plain terms and aims to make the first steps feel less daunting for anyone unsure where to begin.

Her style is conversational and non-judgemental. Abigail says she has faced her own life challenges and brings that humanness into sessions. People are invited to talk about whatever is on their mind while she listens and reflects back what matters most to them.

Sessions are tailored to each person's needs. If someone wants practical help, Abigail offers strategies for worry, overthinking, poor sleep and low motivation. If someone needs space to make sense of feelings, she will slow the pace and explore what is showing up for them.

She combines approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit the person in front of her. Abigail works with a range of concerns including abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and ageing and geriatric issues among other areas.

Abigail holds BACP and has four years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, visitors use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Abigail’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current trust and connection. It can be useful for relationship worries, attachment issues and fears around abandonment.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects back what is said and follows the person’s pace to help them find their own answers. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical strategies to reduce worry, tackle overthinking, improve sleep and lift motivation. It often includes simple exercises and step-by-step plans.

Finding the right way of working is a joint process. Abigail will work with each person to decide which approach, or mix of approaches, feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. This is explored together during early sessions and reviewed as work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session types the counsellor currently offers before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy life because it removes travel and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and options that do not require being on camera. These conveniences can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
