About Abigail
Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor who helps people with relationship and family concerns. She supports those coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and people facing stress, addiction or career difficulties.

She speaks English and Twi and practises in the United Kingdom. Abigail uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's experience at the heart of sessions.
Background and approach
She aims to build a calm, open space where people can talk about what hurts and what they want to change. The focus is on practical steps and clearer thinking as much as on understanding emotions. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. She also brings in psychodynamic and emotionally-focused ideas to help people make sense of painful past experiences. Abigail has nineteen years of experience supporting people in community settings and in referral pathways.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That registration is noted where relevant to her practice in the UK. People come to Abigail for help with separation, domestic violence, caregiver stress, codependency, bereavement and a wide range of relational difficulties.
In sessions she listens, reflects and helps create simple steps clients can try between meetings. Her style is steady and warm, aimed at helping people feel less overwhelmed and more able to make decisions about their relationships and life direction.

How Abigail's approaches work well online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current feelings and connections. Online sessions can help people recognise these patterns and try different ways of relating to partners or family. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. This approach helps clients feel heard and supported while they set their own goals during video or phone sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test practical changes. CBT works well in short tasks between sessions and can be adapted to chat or messaging formats.Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Abigail works collaboratively to find what fits each person - drawing on attachment ideas, client-centred listening or CBT tools as needed. She discusses goals and preferences and adjusts the plan over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer no camera, live chat offers a typed alternative for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and everyday demands while still following a structured therapeutic approach.
