Person-Centred Experiential counselling and psychotherapy for adults and young people, offering a space to explore whatever brings you to therapy.
Hi, I’m Abbie.
Counsellor & Psychotherapist, MBACP
I'm a Person-Centred Experiential Counsellor and Psychotherapist working with both adults and young people.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work as an Associate Therapist with Hull & East Yorkshire Mind, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
Working across private practice and mental health services has given me experience supporting people with very different needs, backgrounds and ways of communicating. It's shaped my belief that therapy shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. I adapt the way I work around the person in front of me.
Working with people, not labels
Over the years, I’ve worked with people bringing many different experiences to therapy. From anxiety, panic and low mood to grief, identity, relationships, emotional overwhelm and periods where life simply feels difficult to manage.
My experience also includes working with neurodivergence, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, body image, anger, perfectionism, people-pleasing and difficulties with self-worth.
I’ve learnt that the same difficulty can look completely different from one person to another. For me, therapy is less about fitting you into a category and more about getting to know you, understanding your experience and finding a way of working that feels right for you.

Who I Work With
Adults
Space to explore anxiety, low mood, self-worth, relationships, stress, loss, life changes and whatever else might be bringing you to therapy.
Young People
Therapy that meets young people where they are, with space to talk, explore emotions and find ways of communicating that feel comfortable for them.
You might be wondering...
What can I bring to therapy?
Anything that feels important to you. People come to therapy for many different reasons, including anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, relationships, self-worth, neurodivergence, difficult experiences, life changes or simply feeling that something isn't quite right. You don't need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what you want to work on before we begin.
What are sessions with you like?
My approach is Person-Centred Experiential, which means our work is shaped around you rather than following a set programme. Some sessions may involve talking and reflection, while at other times we might use creative approaches, psychoeducation or practical tools. There isn't a right way to do therapy.
What if I don't know what to say?
That's completely okay. You don't need to arrive with a plan or know where to begin. We can take our time, get to know each other and start with whatever feels manageable. Silence, uncertainty and not knowing are all welcome in the therapy room.
