About Abby:

When it comes to reaching out for help, taking the first step can feel overwhelming. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can talk openly and be heard.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Barnsley, providing online therapy across the UK. I support adults with a range of emotional and mental health concerns, including but not limited to:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Low self-esteem
  • Stress
  • Work-related stress 
  • Family issues 
  • Health anxiety 
  • Neurodiversity 
  • Perfectionism 
  • Trauma

I have over 10 years’ experience working within the mental health and helping others sector, across various charities and wellbeing programmes. I have also volunteered for Mind and Humankind charities. I love working within mental health and I am passionate about supporting people to be the best versions of themselves.

Therapy can be a powerful process, helping you reconnect with your inner strengths, understand yourself more deeply, and move towards improved wellbeing and quality of life. Sometimes we lose sight of who we are or what we want in life – I’m here to help you work through those challenges and find clarity again.

My Approach

As an Integrative Counsellor, I tailor therapy to suit your individual needs. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including:

 • Person-Centred Therapy

 • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

 • Psychodynamic Therapy

 • Transactional Analysis

This combination allows us to explore both past and present experiences, helping you understand how they may be influencing your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Sometimes, present struggles are driven by deeper-rooted events and experiences. Drawing on patterns and moving towards a level of understanding can significantly improve mental health and wellbeing.

I am a fully accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and work in line with their ethical framework. I am fully insured and attend monthly clinical supervision as part of my commitment to safe, ethical, and effective practice.

If you’re looking for a Counsellor / Psychotherapist in Barnsley (online or face-to-face) or an online therapist in the UK, I would be happy to support you on your journey.
