Abigail Holman , BACP

Abigail Holman brings a warm, down-to-earth style to therapy and meets clients as a fellow human being who understands how vulnerable seeking help can feel. She draws on her own experience of lifeÆs challenges to create an approachable atmosphere while remaining professionally focused on helping people navigate difficult moments.

Abigail tailors each session to the individual, adapting her work to the needs and goals a person brings. She offers a judgment-free space to explore feelings and concerns, whether someone is dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, or bereavement. For those who sense that something feels off but cannot yet name it, she supports the exploration needed to understand whatÆs happening beneath the surface.

When practical skills are helpful, Abigail can introduce strategies to address common day-to-day problems such as excessive worry, overthinking, poor sleep, and low motivation. She aims to collaborate with clients to identify small, achievable changes that build momentum toward better coping and clearer direction. Abigail holds BACP, a professional counselling association in the UK, and applies her training and four years of experience to provide thoughtful, compassionate care.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Abigail often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and close relationships shape expectations and emotional responses in present-day connections. This approach can help people understand patterns in relationships, attachment wounds, and how to build more secure ways of relating.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic listening stance that helps clients find their own solutions and build self-understanding. This method supports issues such as low self-confidence, bereavement, and life transitions by prioritizing the clientÆs perspective and pace.

Additionally, Abigail incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when a practical, skills-based approach is helpful. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, worry, and low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abigail works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats approach selection as a flexible partnership rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy with Abigail is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals with greater flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, accommodate differing comfort levels with communication styles, and maintain continuity of care across locations.
