Hello, i'm Abby, a Person-Centered Counsellor. Here's a little bit about me - I qualified in 2019 and since then, i have had a real passion to facilitate a safe space for people to self discover and process what's going on for them. For me, i feel this is can be key to setting your mind free.
From being a Person-Centered Counsellor, my work with you will be non directive and i will not try to 'fix you'. I'm a true believer that we all have the power within us to make the changes we need, to allow growth and progression, whatever that may mean for you. I am here to work with you, facilitating a safe and non judgemental space, ensuring you feel heard and understood.
Life can be challenging. You may be going through a bereavement, personal life issue, relationship problem, low self esteem or many other issues, possibly leaving you feeling anxious, low or stuck. Processing these experiences may be just what you need. Our work together will be guided by you and we will go at your own pace. Sometimes having that space to just offload can be so beneficial.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
