About Abigail

Abigail De Almeida is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. With three years of clinical experience, she works with individuals facing low motivation, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and symptoms of depression. Her practice focuses on helping those who feel anxious, stuck, or ready to make a change, offering practical guidance and emotional support as clients explore their concerns and priorities.

Abigail combines several therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs, aiming to help clients make sense of a particular issue, gain clearer perspective, and find the strength to create meaningful change. She welcomes conversations about relationships, family dynamics, trauma and caregiver stress, as well as career-related pressures and compassion fatigue. Abigail is comfortable working in English and Portuguese.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials - BACP denotes membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS represents a recognised professional counselling qualification - and brings an empathetic, client-focused style to the therapeutic relationship. Abigail offers to walk alongside clients as they explore new ways of coping and move toward the changes they want to create.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Abigail integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and a non-judgmental space where the client guides the pace and focus of work, supporting self-exploration and emotional healing. CBT offers practical strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills to change thinking and behavior, often used for anxiety, low mood and everyday coping difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Abigail works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances. This means adjustments over time as needs evolve, with the therapist and client deciding together what feels most effective.

Online therapy with Abigail is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, allowing therapy to fit into busy lives and varied routines.
