About Abigail
Abigail Cruse is an MBACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, bereavement and loss, addictions, relationship difficulties and trauma. Her work also covers parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and changes such as separation and career transitions.
Abigail uses several therapeutic approaches to suit different kinds of problems. She combines ideas from existential and Jungian ways of working with mindfulness and body-centred (somatic) techniques. This mix helps people talk about feelings, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Sessions are straightforward. Abigail listens, asks questions to clarify what matters, and suggests practical ways to manage symptoms like anxiety or poor sleep. She also helps people address family problems, communication breakdowns and issues linked to grief or past abuse. Conversations include thinking about values and what matters now as well as coping skills.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family issues, infertility and difficulties after separation. She will also talk through matters such as guilt, shame and problems around eating and intimacy.
Work with her begins with a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How Abigail's approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibilities in daily life. It can be useful when parenting, relationship roles or life changes feel overwhelming. Jungian-informed work focuses on patterns and personal stories that repeat across relationships, which can clarify why certain family problems keep returning.Mindfulness therapy encourages small attention practices that reduce anxiety and improve sleep. It is practical for people who want simple tools to manage stress while juggling home life or work. Abigail will discuss which approach or combination feels most useful for your situation and adapt the work as you go. Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process based on your goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and other daily demands. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and for using breathing or body-focused exercises without travel time.
