Abigail Crossan

I qualified with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling - and my approach is Person-Centred.

​The Person-Centred approach teaches the Core Conditions: Empathy, Congruence and Unconditional Positive Regard. I believe these conditions are vital in creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, effective and valuable.

​I believe you are your own expert and that you have the answers to your own positive change - sometimes we just need help in finding answers and facilitating exploration.

​I aim to offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you.

​I have years of experience working with individuals in a therapeutic setting and offering both short and long term counselling. I have worked with individuals from various backgrounds and with various presenting issues such as Anxiety and Depression, Bereavement, low self-esteem, work related stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, gender identity and sexuality. 

I offer sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis either face to face or online via Zoom/telephone sessions in East London, specifically in Dalston/Hackeny.

Sessions are tailored to you as an individual.

We will usually arrange a first session as an introductory session where you can get a feel for whether you want to continue work with me, we can discuss how I work, what to expect from counselling and what you hope to gain from counselling. 

I can offer online sessions throughout the day and evening (excluding weekends). I can also offer evening sessions face-to-face in Hackney.

Throughout my practice I aim to offer a safe, non-judgemental and collaborative space for clients and supervisees. I work in the Person-Centred approach. Empathy, Congruence and Unconditional Positive Regard. I believe these conditions are vital in creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, effective and valuable.
