Demi Abbott is a BACP counsellor who aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable. She presents a warm, down-to-earth manner that helps people feel heard and understood in early sessions. Her style is conversational and respectful, with room for humour when it fits the moment.

She holds a first degree in counselling and has three years of professional experience. Much of her work has been with people in their 20s and 30s, focusing on building self-esteem and helping clients understand themselves more clearly.

Background and approach

She has also supported people through common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress and life changes. Demi uses a flexible, integrative approach. She draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking.

This means sessions can be structured with clear steps, or more open and exploratory depending on what feels most useful. Practical issues such as sleep problems, workplace stress, parenting strain and relationship concerns feature in her practice, along with topics like body image, guilt and shame, loneliness and seasonal mood shifts. She also works with people managing compassion fatigue and career uncertainty.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Demi's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people feel understood and to make their own sense of difficulties. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem and exploring emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can suit worries, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Demi will discuss goals and preferences and may blend methods to suit individual needs. Together they decide whether sessions should follow a clear plan or stay more exploratory as issues emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people take part. Video calls let conversations feel closer to an in-person session, while phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins or shorter, more frequent contact when that fits a busy life. These options can make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.
