About Abigail
Abigail Cruse is a counsellor who draws on existential, Jungian and mindfulness ideas to help people find more meaning and calm in their lives. She is an MBACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Abigail aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety and grief. She also supports those coping with addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of intimacy and family-related concerns. Codependency, attachment and communication problems are included among the issues she addresses.
Her approach is conversational and exploratory. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on small steps that can make daily life easier. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are used when helpful to reduce overwhelm and anchor attention.
Abigail draws on four years of practice experience to offer steady support and practical next steps. She describes the work as a collaborative process that balances understanding past patterns with making changes in the present.

How different therapeutic approaches can work online
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, values and choice. It helps when someone feels stuck, empty or unsure about what matters next by encouraging honest reflection and practical decisions about life direction.Mindfulness therapy teaches straightforward ways to focus attention and notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. It can reduce stress and help with anxiety, sleep problems and emotional overwhelm through short exercises and breath awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which ideas to try first, based on the person's concerns, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include experimenting with different techniques over a few sessions.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and somatic grounding to suit remote sessions so people can use techniques in everyday life.
