About Abbie
Abbie Bonnett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach and aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Abbie highlights lived experience as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and offers an understanding space for conversations about gender and identity.
Her core approach is client-centred counselling, which means sessions focus on the person's own goals and pace. She listens actively and reflects back what she hears to help clients clarify their thoughts. This style is often used to address anxiety, depression, relationship worries and identity concerns.
Abbie works with people on matters such as relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, body image and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, panic disorder and panic attacks, obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviours, and post-traumatic stress. She states a commitment to not practising any form of conversion therapy.
She has developed particular experience around gender identity and transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming experiences. Abbie can support discussions about gender dysphoria and the personal effects of transition on relationships. She also offers help to parents or guardians adjusting to a loved one's LGBTQIA+ identity.
Practical information about sessions, including formats and scheduling, should be confirmed before booking. The site matching process and questionnaire are used to arrange appointments in line with therapist availability.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. It involves listening without judgement, reflecting back what is said, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship concerns, identity questions and panic-related difficulties by letting the client set the pace and priorities.Abbie's practice emphasises collaborative decision making about methods and goals. She will work with each person to decide which approaches and focuses best match their needs and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process and is reviewed as work progresses.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not specify them. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also allow sessions when in-person meetings are difficult, and it may suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain practical options during the matching process so appointments suit your routine.
