Abigail Holman, BACP

Abigail Holman brings a friendly, down-to-earth presence to her work as a therapist, meeting clients as a fellow human being who understands the vulnerability of reaching out for support. She speaks from lived experience and a compassionate outlook, recognising that life can present unexpected challenges that leave people feeling unsettled or overwhelmed.

She adapts each session to the individual's needs while offering a private, judgment-free space to discuss whatever is most pressing. Clients may seek help for depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, bereavement, or simply a persistent sense that something is not quite right. Abigail works alongside clients to explore feelings and patterns, helping to clarify what might be happening beneath those experiences.

When practical strategies are useful, she offers tools to address worry, overthinking, poor sleep, and low motivation. Combining attentive listening with actionable approaches, Abigail supports clients as they work toward meaningful, positive change in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Abigail draws on several established approaches to tailor support to each person she works with. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses - it can be helpful for people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment fears, or relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centres the individual's experience, offering empathy and non-directive support so clients can find their own solutions; it is often useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours through practical exercises and strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, worry, and low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abigail works collaboratively with clients to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. As a registered professional, she will listen, suggest options, and adjust methods as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains useful.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to choose the format that suits their life and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across different schedules and locations while working toward meaningful change.
