Abigail Davies, NCPS

Abigail Davies offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She explains things simply and helps clients talk through what matters to them in a calm space. Abigail is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. NCPS is listed after her name as a credential. She uses a gentle, person-focused way of working. That means sessions centre on the client’s experience and priorities, with the counsellor helping people make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical ways of changing patterns that keep problems going. Hypnotherapy is another approach Abigail offers; this can support relaxation, shift unhelpful habits and reinforce new ways of coping. Work will usually be paced to match what someone can manage in day-to-day life. Conversations often include small experiments to try between sessions and simple strategies to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Abigail pays attention to relationship difficulties, issues around identity and sexuality, caregiver stress and problems with communication and control. She also supports people facing career change, questions about life purpose, and those trying to recover from trauma or abuse. Initial steps are kept simple and practical. Abigail aims to make the first meetings clear and manageable, with a focus on what the person wants to change and achievable next steps.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s goals; it helps people feel heard and work out what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour, and trying practical experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful habits. Hypnotherapy is used to promote deep relaxation and reinforce new coping ideas, which can support sleep, stress reduction and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. Sometimes a blend of listening, CBT techniques and occasional hypnotherapy can be the best fit, and the plan can change as progress is made.

For practicalities, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins on days when only a short conversation is possible. They also let people access support from their local area without having to travel, which can make ongoing work simpler to maintain.
