About Me

Hi, I'm Abby. I'm an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I offer individual counselling and couples therapy, working with adults in person in Burnley and Manchester, as well as with clients across the UK online. 

I provide in person counselling sessions from The Hill Counselling Practice in Padiham.

​

​I offer eco-therapy (outdoor therapy) in both Burnley and Manchester. ​​​​​

​​I work online with adults living throughout the UK.  

​​​

​​​

I support individuals and couples experiencing a range of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, and difficulties around intimacy, emotional connection, and relationship satisfaction. 

​

My practice is relational and holistic, recognising the connection between mind, body, emotions, relationships, and environment. I work in an integrative and compassionate way, tailoring therapy to the needs of each individual or couple, drawing primarily on Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.

​

Through this approach, I support clients to explore patterns that may have developed earlier in life and to understand how these continue to shape current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Developing this awareness can open up new possibilities for change and support more authentic ways of relating to self and others.

​

For couples, I offer specialist couples counselling in Burnley and online, using the Imago Dialogue Process. This structured approach helps partners communicate more safely, listen more deeply, and rebuild trust and emotional connection.

​

I also incorporate somatic and embodied perspectives, supporting clients to reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and sense of aliveness. Where helpful, I include a nature-informed approach, recognising the value of the natural world in supporting reflection, regulation, and healing.

​

My background includes an MSc in Organisational and Social Psychology and a BA in Social Work, which inform my understanding of how personal, relational, and wider life contexts interact. I have also completed advanced psychotherapy training, training in Taking Therapy Outside, and specialist training in Imago Relationship Therapy.

​

If you are looking for counselling or couples therapy in Burnley or online in the UK, therapy can offer a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what feels difficult, and reconnect with what matters most. My role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, care, and support as you move towards greater clarity, connection, and emotional wellbeing.
