About Abigail
Abigail Cruse is a counsellor who blends reflective therapy with body-aware and trauma-focused approaches. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Abigail aims to create a calm space where people can say what is on their mind and begin to feel steadier.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those coping with grief, addictions and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy concerns are included, along with worries about self-esteem and anger. Abigail uses Existential and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of painful life events and personal patterns. She works with mindfulness and somatic methods to bring attention to how the body and the mind respond to stress.
Trauma-focused techniques are used where past hurts continue to affect day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person. The counsellor listens for themes such as attachment, abandonment or codependency and helps people explore these safely.
Practical coping skills are offered alongside chance to reflect on meaning and identity. Abigail has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She offers appointments to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits each person’s needs.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to calm the nervous system and reduce worrying thoughts. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and for grounding after distressing events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan as you go. This is a collaborative process aimed at discovering what helps you feel more steady and able to cope.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and access help from different locations.
