About Abbie
Abbie Bonnett is a counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She focuses on LGBT issues, gender identity, relationships and intimacy-related concerns, and ADHD. Abbie frames work around helping people make sense of their thoughts and feelings during life changes and relationship strain.
She describes herself as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and offers informed, non-judgemental support for gender identity and related concerns. She helps people talk through feelings about being transgender, nonbinary or gender nonconforming, and will not engage in any conversion practices.
Recent training includes work with intimate partner relationships and couples therapy methods. In practice she addresses communication patterns, attachment difficulties, infidelity, neurodiversity in relationships, and dynamics in polyamory or ethical non-monogamy. She also offers guidance to parents or guardians who are managing a loved one's LGBTQIA+ identity.
Abbie uses Client-Centred Therapy in sessions, which means conversations are led by the person's concerns and pace. She aims to help people develop clearer self-understanding and practical ways to cope with overwhelming emotions.
Typical themes she works with include abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM and kink, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and sexual and relationship diversity issues.

How Abbie uses client-centred work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy asks the therapist to follow the person’s lead, listening closely and reflecting back what’s said. This approach helps with identity questions, relationship concerns and intense emotions by making space for the client to name and process their experience.For relationship and intimacy matters she draws on relational focus and practical conversation about communication and attachment patterns. That helps when people want to change how they relate to partners, navigate transitions such as gender transition, or manage ethical non-monogamous dynamics.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will help figure out which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one model. Clients and therapist review progress and adapt the way they work together over time.
The practical benefits of remote work should be checked before booking, since session formats are not specified here. Confirm current session options when you arrange a first appointment. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into daily life easier by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to attend while balancing work and family commitments.
