Hi, My name is Abby. I am a fully qualified, BACP accredited, trauma informed counsellor and psychotherapist. 

I am a person-centred counsellor, I believe in the power of being heard and hearing ones self. I have supported many adults, children and young people in many settings over the years. I have been praised for my down to earth approach,  I listen with empathy, honesty and free of judgement.

I have extensive training and experience as a bereavement counsellor and school counsellor. I also have both professional and lived experience of autism and ADHD.

I have extensive experience and particular interest working with young carers, particularly those who grew up with disabled or ill siblings. 

In session with me you can expect to be heard and appreciated, I genuinely care for all my clients and believe this is reflected in my practice. You can expect honesty, integrity, empathy and understanding. 

Sessions are 50 minutes in length. I will ask you to complete a questionnaire and contract prior to our first session. First sessions will cover confidentiality and look at your requirements.
