About Abigail

Abigail Borquaye works on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues using an integrative approach rooted in client-centred practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 19 years' experience.

Abigail offers counselling for relationship difficulties, loneliness, depression and domestic violence. She also supports people coping with bereavement, childhood abuse and neglect, anger management and work-related stress. Her practice includes concerns around addictions, intimacy, parenting and career strain.

She uses a blend of methods rather than a single model. Sessions focus on building the therapeutic relationship and understanding patterns that affect daily life. Conversations look at feelings, behaviour and past experience to find clearer ways forward.

Abigail has a particular interest in attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems. She also works with people affected by blended family challenges, caregiver stress, cancer-related impact and substance issues. Her background includes supporting women and families before professional training in counselling.

In the room she offers practical ways to manage stress and low mood, and supports people through major life changes. Work can include short-term solution-focused steps alongside deeper psychodynamic exploration when that fits the person. Sessions are provided in English and Twi, and she accepts international clients.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps where trust, closeness or abandonment concerns affect present relationships and intimacy.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a supportive relationship and reflective listening. It helps people clarify feelings and make their own decisions about change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It supports people managing anxiety, low mood and stress with practical strategies and short-term tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan that may combine elements from different methods. This is a collaborative process and decisions about focus and pace are reviewed together.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are available, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity of care when face-to-face meetings are difficult to arrange.
