Abigail Cruse is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a blend of existential, Jungian, mindfulness, somatic and trauma-focused ideas to help people untangle difficult feelings and make clearer choices about their lives. Clients come with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and trauma.

Abigail also supports people facing relationship pain, intimacy issues, parenting strain, career uncertainty and questions about identity and self-worth. She notes additional focus areas such as attachment, abandonment, codependency and family of origin problems.

Background and approach

Her way of working is straightforward. Sessions aim to be open and non-judgemental so thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Practical moments in therapy might include noticing patterns, grounding with the body, or using reflective exercises to surface inner conflicts.

Abigail has four years of experience in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her credentials. She offers conversations that balance depth with day-to-day practicality.

For people wrestling with loss, addiction, or recurring negative beliefs, Abigail helps identify small changes that feel manageable. The work is paced to each person’s needs and aimed at clearer thinking and steadier coping.

Exploring depth work and practical tools online

Abigail uses existential ideas to help people face big life questions, such as meaning, choice and responsibility. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, empty or uncertain about what matters next. Jungian Therapy explores personal symbols and recurring life themes to uncover hidden patterns that influence behaviour and relationships. It can be useful for people who want to understand long-standing inner conflicts and family of origin issues.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and bodily sensation. Simple awareness practices and grounding techniques are used to reduce reactivity and strengthen emotional regulation, which can help with anxiety, stress and trauma symptoms. These approaches are explained in plain terms and adapted to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the work as goals and preferences emerge. That means sessions can shift between reflective conversation, body-based grounding and practical exercises depending on what is most useful.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video offers a fuller conversational exchange, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options allow shorter check-ins or written reflection over time. These formats make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
