Abigail Borquaye

Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and addiction. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, anger, career stress and major life changes. Abigail uses a direct, compassionate style and makes space for clients to talk about what matters most to them.

With 19 years of experience, Abigail combines several counselling approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws on client-centred principles to follow the person's pace and priorities. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape present relationships.

Cognitive behavioural techniques can be used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. Emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas are available for people who want to understand deeper patterns and emotional responses.

Abigail is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in the United Kingdom and can carry out sessions in English and Twi. International clients are accepted; please check available formats before booking.

Her practice is particularly attentive to abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, blended family difficulties, domestic violence, substance problems, and the emotional effects of illness and caregiving. Abigail aims to create a calm space where people can name their goals, slowly make changes and feel steadier in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who notice repeating problems in close relationships or who feel anxious about closeness. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to sessions. This approach helps people find their own pace for change and explore what they value most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. Sessions can blend practical steps, like spotting unhelpful thinking, with time to understand deeper emotional patterns.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that suits someone better. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
