About Abbie
Abbie Bonnett is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with relationship and identity issues, including LGBT concerns, gender identity and intimacy-related difficulties. Her practice also addresses guilt and shame as part of broader emotional struggles.
Abbie offers straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on understanding what has led to distress. She listens to how someone describes their feelings and life, then helps them make sense of patterns and reactions. Sessions often cover communication styles, attachment problems, and the practical effects of things like neurodiversity or a gender transition.
Her work includes support around complex relationship arrangements such as polyamory and ethical non-monogamy, and she has recently completed training in intimate partner relationships and couple work. She also supports people navigating BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture by discussing boundaries, consent, and relationship dynamics.
Abbie pays close attention to issues around identity and belonging, including autism, gender dysphoria, and the pressures that can lead to isolation or obsessive behaviour. She will not engage in conversion therapy and explicitly says so.
People who come for help with guilt or shame often talk about family, faith, or past choices. Abbie helps them name those experiences and see how they affect daily life. She supports parents and guardians who are working through the impact of a loved one’s LGBTQIA+ identity without making claims about outcomes.
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-centred therapy places the person's own views at the heart of the work. The therapist follows what the client brings, reflecting back concerns and helping clarify feelings. This approach suits issues like identity, guilt, shame, and relationship problems where understanding personal meaning matters. Abbie also brings focused support for relationship and intimacy matters, working through communication, attachment patterns, and practical dynamics. That kind of work looks at how people interact and what changes might reduce repeated conflicts or misunderstandings. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Abbie will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints, and adjust the way she works in response. Together they decide what methods and session pace make the most sense for the client's aims. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows for conversations about identity and relationships from somewhere more convenient, while the therapist and client figure out what works best for regular progress.Areas of expertise
