Online support
How her approaches work in online therapy
Abigail draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with core emotions in relationships and personal patterns. EFT focuses on feelings and attachment needs, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment or communication problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress and making changes when someone feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays collaborative and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who need lower bandwidth, chat can be a quicker check-in and messaging works for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while using approaches that address emotions, values and everyday problems.
