About Abigail

Abigail Goodwin is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with family conflict, trauma and loss. Abigail uses straightforward, practical talking therapy to help people take steps that feel manageable.

Abigail has been working in the United Kingdom for over 11 years. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice is integrated, which means she draws from several therapy approaches rather than using just one method.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change and on small, practical steps to get there. She listens without judgement and tailors conversations to each person’s situation. People can expect a collaborative pace and a clear focus on current problems and goals.

Abigail addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, intimacy issues, body image and eating problems, sleep difficulties, chronic pain and the emotional effects of illness. She also works with anger, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and the stress of major life changes.

Her work draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused thinking, cognitive behaviour strategies and emotion-focused ideas. Sessions aim to help people better manage difficult feelings, improve relationships and find practical ways to cope day to day. Abigail describes herself as warm and respectful.

She encourages people to take the first step at their own pace and to shape therapy around their needs.

How Abigail uses talking therapies online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can help when intimacy or trust are concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and supports their priorities.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Abigail will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that suit your situation. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you learn what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a near face-to-face feel, phone works well if lower bandwidth is needed, live chat supports shorter check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing or flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility constraints while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
