About Abigail

Abigail Goodwin is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and trauma and abuse. She works with clients on parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Abigail uses straightforward language and practical steps in sessions to make change feel possible.

She trained as a counsellor and is a BACP member, which means she follows professional standards from the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

Abigail has 11 years of experience offering one-to-one support. She views each person as unique and adapts her approach to fit the situation. Her style is collaborative and warm.

Sessions typically begin by clarifying what matters most to the client. From there she helps people set clear, realistic goals and notices what gets in the way of progress. Abigail draws on a mix of methods depending on need.

She may use Trauma-Focused approaches to address the impact of past harm, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-led action, or Cognitive Behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Attachment ideas guide work with relational patterns and parenting concerns. Clients can expect sessions that are respectful and practical.

Abigail aims to make tools simple to use between meetings. She encourages small, sustainable steps so people can feel steadier and more in control as they move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Abigail commonly uses Trauma-Focused methods to work with the effects of past harm, helping people name the impact of distressing events and learn ways to reduce their day-to-day symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing small actions that align with what matters most. Attachment-Based ideas look at relational patterns and help people adjust how they connect with others, which can help with parenting and intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options help people access therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
