About Abigail
Abigail Goodwin helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports parents, people coping with relationship or family problems, and those affected by trauma, abuse or compassion fatigue. Abigail is a BACP counsellor and has worked in the UK for 11 years.
She uses a blend of methods rather than one single model. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, so conversations and practical tools will vary from person to person.
Background and approach
Abigail aims to be warm, respectful and straightforward in session. Her work often focuses on attachment and relationship patterns, and on building skills to manage mood, anger and anxiety. She also helps with sleeping and eating difficulties, body image and issues linked to chronic pain or illness.
Practical strategies from cognitive approaches are offered alongside reflective, emotionally focused work. Parents and individuals facing separation, blended family tensions or communication breakdowns can expect help with clear problem-solving and coping steps. She also addresses abandonment, guilt, shame and difficulties around intimacy and trust.
Sessions look at both immediate coping and longer-term patterns. Abigail draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive techniques and elements of dialectical and attachment-based approaches. She will tailor a plan to your goals and pace.
Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process manageable and focused on what matters to you.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will discuss different methods and choose what fits your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers a range of formats to suit different needs. Video calls let you read facial cues and have deeper conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection and flexibility during busy weeks. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy regular and accessible without travelling.
