Abigail Borquaye, BACP

Abigail Borquaye is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship difficulties, family stress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and midlife concerns. She works with issues such as addictions, grief, intimacy problems, parenting challenges and career-related strain. Abigail communicates in English and Twi and has nearly two decades of experience in the field.

She describes her practice as client-centred, placing the relationship between counsellor and client at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult experiences and finding practical steps forward. Abigail also draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic perspectives to understand patterns that repeat in relationships.

Her approach is straightforward and supportive. She offers a space where people can speak about abandonment, codependency, control issues, anger or the impact of past abuse. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused thinking are used when helpful to address day-to-day problems.

Abigail has worked with women and families for many years before training as a counsellor, and she brings 19 years of overall experience to her practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

People who work with her can expect a conversational style that balances reflection with action. The aim is to help clients understand recurring patterns and to try manageable changes that fit their life. International clients may be accepted, and sessions can be discussed when booking.

How Abigail’s approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways in close relationships and can be useful for addressing abandonment and attachment issues.

Client-centred therapy focuses on a kind, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own solutions, which can suit those dealing with low self-worth, life changes or relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Abigail will talk with clients about their needs and goals and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to personal preferences and practical circumstances.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions around work or caregiving schedules. If you want to check which session formats are available, confirm the specific options when booking so you know what will work best for you.
