Demi Abbott , BACP

Demi Abbott is a compassionate counsellor registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds a First Degree in Counselling which underpins her professional training. With three years of clinical experience, she offers a warm, personable approach aimed at making the therapy journey as comfortable and constructive as possible.

Demi has supported people from a variety of backgrounds and has specific experience working for a local charity delivering solution-focused therapy. Much of her practice has focused on clients in their 20s and 30s, guiding them to build self-esteem and develop a clearer understanding of themselves as they navigate relationships, career decisions, and life changes.

Trained as an integrative therapist, Demi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and humanistic principles to tailor her work to each person. This flexibility allows her to offer structured sessions with a clear agenda when helpful, or open, exploratory sessions that follow what emerges in the here and now. She works in an approachable manner and believes that a sense of humour can sometimes help the therapeutic process.

Committed to ongoing professional development, Demi regularly completes additional CPD training to refine her practice. She welcomes messages about clients needs, goals, and expectations from therapy and is happy to discuss how she can help.

Integrative approaches and online therapy tailored to you

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. It helps people who want to explore identity, relationships, self-esteem, and emotional expression at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns by developing practical skills and alternative ways of thinking.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying clients strengths and small, achievable steps toward change. It is especially helpful for those seeking focused, goal-oriented work around specific problems like coping with life changes or improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be explored collaboratively. A therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the style as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow people to connect from familiar environments while still receiving professional therapeutic support.
