Abigail Davies, NCPS

Abigail Davies offers a calm, straightforward way into therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. She introduces a non-judgemental space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Abigail aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.

She works collaboratively, helping people set practical goals and notice small changes between sessions. Her approach combines client-centred care with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on everyday ways to cope.

Abigail has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as her listed credential. That background informs a straightforward style that balances listening with problem solving. She pays attention to attachment concerns, communication difficulties and caregiver stress when these come up.

Common topics she supports include relationship strain, self-esteem and life changes such as career moves or bereavement. Abigail also works with people navigating sexuality, LGBT issues and the challenges of living with ADHD. She explains therapeutic tools plainly and checks in about what is helping.

People can expect short-term practical strategies alongside space to talk about painful feelings. Abigail helps clients build routines and develop coping skills that fit their daily life. Her sessions aim to be useful from the first meeting onward.

How Abigail’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In online sessions this means time spent understanding what matters to the person and reflecting back their experience to help them feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with everyday actions; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and suggestion to help shift patterns of thinking and behaviour, which some people find helpful for habit change and for managing anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Abigail will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals and check in regularly about what is helping. That collaborative process aims to tailor techniques to the person's needs and preferences rather than using a single fixed method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when clarity and visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflections and a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
