About Abbie
Abbie Bonnett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on identity and relationship concerns. She holds the NCPS credential and brings three years of professional experience to sessions. Abbie is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and aims to create a respectful, understanding space for people exploring gender and sexual identity.
Abbie listens first and asks clear questions to help people make sense of strong emotions. She supports those working through gender dysphoria and the practical and emotional elements of transition.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship difficulties, including communication problems, attachment issues and the impact of infidelity. Her work includes supporting people with neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and symptoms linked to ADHD, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and panic. Abbie is familiar with non-traditional relationship styles and can discuss polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, BDSM, kink and other intimate dynamics without judgement.
She pays attention to shame, guilt and abandonment wounds that often sit behind repeated relationship patterns. Abbie uses a client-centred way of working, focusing on the person’s experience and what feels most useful for them in the moment. Practical steps and clearer communication skills are offered where helpful.
Abbie does not provide services to international clients at present. Sessions are conducted in English and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers careful listening, empathy and reflective feedback so people can find clearer direction. This approach is useful for issues like gender identity, shame, relationship conflict and navigating life changes.Abbie will collaborate with each person to find the most helpful way to work. She will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities, and adjust the approach as the relationship develops. Finding the right fit is a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from their own chosen environment while still receiving focused, person-centred care.
