Abigail Holman
A practical, warm approach to life’s challenges
About Abigail
Abigail Holman helps people who are feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck. She supports work-related stress, relationship worries, grief and bereavement, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. She also helps people with ADHD, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Abigail writes in a straightforward way and aims to make therapy approachable and practical. Abigail takes a warm, down-to-earth stance in sessions. She begins by listening without judgment so a person can say what is hardest to talk about.
Background and approach
She treats difficult feelings as clues rather than problems to fix instantly, and she works at a pace that suits each person. When a practical plan is useful, Abigail offers clear strategies to tackle overthinking, worry, poor sleep and low motivation.
She draws on techniques from cognitive behaviour approaches and mindfulness to help change unhelpful thoughts and build small daily habits that feel doable. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to focus on relationships and on what matters to the person in front of her. That can mean talking through patterns in relationships, difficult losses, or why certain situations keep repeating.
Sessions aim to be both thoughtful and down-to-earth. Abigail is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of issues.
Sessions are offered in English and she sees international clients as well.

Sessions & fees
How Abigail’s approaches translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current feelings. Online sessions let people talk through repeating relationship themes and see how these patterns show up now. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work and values being heard without judgment. In remote sessions this usually means the counsellor listens carefully and reflects back what matters most, helping clients find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Abigail collaborates with each person to choose which methods to use, checking in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses. She adapts the mix of listening, practical tools and reflection to suit the issue and the individual rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, written exchanges that can be easier to fit around work or family commitments. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent even with a busy life.
