About Abigail
Abigail De Almeida is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, low mood, grief and life transitions. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed or ready to make changes. Abigail speaks English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom.
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of clinical experience. Abigail takes an integrative approach that adapts to each person's needs. Sessions are conversational and focused on what is happening now, with space to look at past patterns when useful.
Background and approach
She uses practical strategies alongside reflective work so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions. Common themes Abigail supports include stress, relationship strain, family concerns and compassion fatigue. She also helps with issues such as attachment and abandonment, career uncertainty, guilt and shame, and feeling isolated or purposeless.
This range lets her tailor sessions to the worries someone brings in. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Abigail aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable, with small goals set at a pace that suits each person.
She encourages practical steps as well as thinking about deeper feelings when that feels helpful. People who choose Abigail often want a blend of hands-on tools and thoughtful listening. If someone wants to explore values, reduce avoidance, or build clearer boundaries, she works alongside them to map out realistic next steps.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will collaborate with each person to choose techniques and exercises that match their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT ideas in one period and CBT skills in another, or spending more time on reflective psychodynamic themes if that suits the issue.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when time or travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing support, quick check-ins or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on the chosen therapeutic work.
