About Abigail
Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 19 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and related issues. Abigail works with individuals and couples and supports people with anger, grief, parenting strain and career pressures.
She approaches sessions from a client-centred perspective, helping people talk through what matters most to them. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Abigail also draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive approaches when these fit the issue in front of her.
Her practice includes work with people facing bereavement, domestic violence, childhood neglect, addiction and feelings of emptiness or shame. She offers time to address communication problems, commitment worries, codependency and blended family pressures. Practical coping strategies and clearer ways to understand relationships are typical aims in her sessions.
Abigail has a long history of supporting women and family members prior to formal training, and she continues to work with referrals from GPs and community drop-in services in west London. Her experience includes counselling people affected by cancer, caregiver stress and stigmatisation.
Sessions are conducted in English and Twi. Fees vary by location and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the online matching process to schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions can help people recognise these patterns and practise different ways of relating in everyday life.Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following what the client brings. In online sessions this means time for the person to speak, to be heard, and to set the pace for what is discussed.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. Delivered remotely, CBT can include practical exercises and short homework tasks to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
