Abigail Borquaye, BACP

Abigail Borquaye is an integrative counsellor who structures her practice around a client-centered framework with a clear emphasis on relationship and family matters. She works with individuals and couples, combining different therapeutic tools to respond to each person’s unique situation while keeping the therapeutic relationship central to the process.

Before training professionally as a counsellor, she spent years supporting women and families, and she continues to work with clients referred by general practitioners as well as those attending drop-in sessions across west London. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, loneliness, depression, domestic violence, bereavement, childhood abuse and neglect, forgiveness and bitterness, anger management, and work-related stress.

Abigail is particularly committed to working with couples and with people who have experienced trauma or abuse, helping them explore issues of identity, purpose, stigma, isolation and fear of failure. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - the main professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. Abigail offers a supportive space for clients to examine their needs and fears and to work toward clearer ways of living and relating.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Abigail Borquaye

Abigail draws on several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns of connection and trust in adult relationships; it can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, and repeated relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional acceptance, creating a space where clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions to problems related to identity, purpose, and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Abigail works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Abigail is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographical distance, or differing communication needs. These options make it easier for clients to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and integrate therapy into everyday life.
