About Abigail
Abigail Cruse is an MBACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and loss, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and other life challenges. Abigail writes plainly about helping clients talk through difficult feelings and reactions.
She uses a mix of approaches to match what someone needs. That can include looking at personal meaning with existential work, noticing bodily responses through somatic techniques, and bringing mindful attention to strong emotions. These methods aim to make anger, worry or grief easier to understand in everyday terms.
In a typical session Abigail invites honest description of what is happening now. She listens for patterns such as control issues, attachment wounds, codependency or family of origin problems. From there she helps people try new ways of noticing triggers and responding differently.
Practical steps often include simple mindfulness exercises, grounding to manage intense feelings, and reflective conversation about relationship patterns. She also works on communication problems, setting boundaries, and coping skills for stress or sleeping difficulties.
Abigail accepts international clients and offers her work in English. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Existential work focuses on questions of meaning, responsibility and choice. Online sessions can use talk and reflection to help someone notice how their values shape reactions such as anger, and to consider different ways of responding. Somatic approaches pay attention to the body - breath, tension, posture and sensations. Even remotely, a counsellor can guide grounding exercises or breathing techniques to reduce overwhelm and make intense feelings more manageable. Mindfulness practice trains steady attention to thoughts and feelings without pushing them away. Online sessions offer short, guided exercises and regular check-ins to build this habit and reduce reactivity. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Abigail will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adapt as progress is assessed. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques are most useful. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break, or offer sessions without needing to travel. Confirm the available session types and choose what fits your routine.Areas of expertise
