About Abigail
Abigail Borquaye is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 19 years of experience working with relationship and family concerns. She works from a client-centred stance and integrates other approaches to focus on relationship and family issues. Abigail speaks English and Twi and accepts international clients.
She helps people facing relationship strain, loneliness, depression, domestic violence, grief, childhood abuse and neglect, and anger. She also offers support for parenting stresses, work-related pressures, addiction concerns and coping with life changes. Her practice includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment problems, and the effects of caregiving or cancer on family life.
Her way of working emphasises the client-cantered relationship as the starting point. She uses ideas from attachment work to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when practical steps and behaviour change are needed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform work around intimacy and couples issues.
Abigail has a background supporting women and families prior to training as a counsellor. She has long experience linked to GP referrals and local drop-in services in west London. That experience informs her practical approach to common problems people bring to sessions.
New clients can expect conversations that aim to clarify immediate concerns and set practical goals. Sessions look at patterns in relationships, emotional responses and everyday coping. The overall aim is to develop clearer choices and more manageable ways of relating and reacting.

Approaches used in remote sessions and what to expect
Abigail draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people want to understand repeated difficulties in intimacy, abandonment concerns or attachment problems. Client-centred methods place the client’s concerns and perspective at the heart of sessions and are used to make practical sense of problems brought to therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides hands-on techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative step. Abigail works with the client to identify goals and to try approaches that fit those goals and preferences. She will review how a method is working and adapt the plan if needed so the work stays relevant to daily life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family or work commitments, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to support people who need flexible timings or simpler access to counselling.
