Abigail Borquaye , BACP

Abigail Borquaye is an integrative counsellor whose practice is grounded in a client-centered framework and a clear focus on relationship and family concerns. With 19 years of experience, she supports individuals and couples, drawing on long experience working with women and families prior to her professional training. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Abigail works primarily with clients referred by their GPs and through drop-in sessions in west London, offering help for a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, loneliness, depression, domestic violence, bereavement, childhood abuse and neglect, anger management, and work-related stress. She is particularly committed to couples work, trauma recovery, and supporting people who have experienced abuse as they rebuild a sense of self and purpose after experiences of stigma, isolation, or fear of failure.

Her integrative approach combines therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are, allowing exploration of attachment and communication patterns, emotional responses, and practical coping strategies. Abigail aims to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore needs and fears, work through challenges, and find clearer direction in relationships and life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Abigail Borquaye integrates several proven approaches to suit individual needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, helping people address abandonment, intimacy concerns, and recurring relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own experience, offering empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance to support self-exploration, self-esteem, and finding personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with everyday functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abigail works collaboratively to determine what best fits a client's goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors methods over time, combining elements as needed to respond to changing concerns and progress.

Online therapy with Abigail is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while working with licensed professionals who can adjust the approach as therapy unfolds.
