About Abigail
Abigail Borquaye helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and addictions. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, grief, parenting pressures, career strain and major life changes. Abigail also addresses intimacy issues, anger, compassion fatigue and the complex effects of abandonment or attachment difficulties.
Her way of working is gentle and direct. Abigail uses a client-centred stance to make space for each person’s story. She listens carefully, reflects what she hears and encourages practical steps that feel manageable.
Background and approach
Sessions balance emotional exploration with straightforward problem solving. Over 19 years Abigail has worked alongside people before and after her formal training as a counsellor. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she includes on her professional profile as a credential.
Her background includes supporting women and families in community settings and in primary care referrals. Therapy with Abigail often brings together attachment-based ideas and elements from cognitive work and psychodynamic thinking. This mix helps people understand patterns from the past while learning different ways to cope now.
She aims to create a calm space where worries can be named and practical options tested. Sessions are suitable for English and Twi speakers. Abigail accepts international clients and works with people at different stages of change, from immediate crisis coping to longer term personal development.

Online support
Choosing the best approach is a joint process. Abigail will talk through your goals, what matters most and how you prefer to work. Together you can try one method and adjust it, mixing approaches if that better fits your needs and circumstances.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments, and to continue when life circumstances change.
