Abigail Borquaye, BACP

Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor who supports people dealing with relationship strains, family worries, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. She also helps with grief, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, parenting stress and career challenges. Abigail is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Abigail uses a client-centred way of working, which means she follows the person in front of her and listens closely to what matters most. She blends several approaches so sessions can focus on feelings, history, and practical steps. Clients can expect an open, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult moments and make clearer decisions. Her background includes many years of informal support work with women and families before professional counselling training. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She has also worked with GP referrals and drop-in clients in west London, seeing a wide range of issues. Abigail often helps people who are coping with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication or control issues, and the stresses of caregiving. She also supports those affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation, and drug or alcohol problems. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build coping strategies. People who choose Abigail typically want a conversational approach that combines emotional understanding with workable tools. She offers a calm environment where people can name their fears, consider their options, and take practical steps forward.

How Abigail’s approaches work for online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and trust. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and learn different ways to connect and feel safer with others.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s perspective first and follows their pace. Sessions aim to be empathetic and non-judgemental, helping people talk through feelings and find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression and practical coping, offering straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as problems shift or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. Before booking, confirm which session formats are available, as the biography does not specify them. Some people find shorter check-ins work well around work breaks, while others prefer longer conversations to get into deeper issues. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions, offering emotional support, practical tools and reflective space that aim to help people manage relationship stresses and personal challenges.
