  • Name Withheld

    “I recently made the decision to begin seeking help with a number of personal & lifestyle issues, I wish I had done so sooner.

    Abbi makes it very easy to talk about yourself by relating & understanding your perspective to ensure you reach your desired end goal.”

  • Name Witheld

    “Cannot recommend Abbi any higher if I tried. She has been great for me.”

  • Name Withheld

    “Abbi is a wonderful counsellor. I have tried many over the years, including psychiatrists and psychologists, for either myself or my son (who is neurodivergent).

    She is the only one that has connected with both of us and made a real difference in a short period of time. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

  • Name Withheld

    “When I started with Abbi, I found her easy to talk to as I connected with her easily. She's helped me a lot and has found solutions to many issues and those solutions always worked. I 100% recommend for people to go and talk to her because she has always helped and never judged at all”

  • Name Witheld

    I have tried counselling before and never found it very helpful. I now realise that finding the right counsellor makes all the difference. In the past I have found counselling exhausting as it took weeks to pinpoint issues, but Abbi is so knowledgeable and such a good reflective listener, that I began healing after our very first session. We are a neurodivergent family and Abbi has a sound understanding of our characteristics and dynamics, which has been truly helpful. I believe Abbi is an exceptional counsellor and I highly recommend her.
