Abigayle Jobin , BACP

Abigayle Jobin is a counsellor who uses a client-led approach to help people face difficult feelings. She holds BACP accreditation and brings seven years of professional experience to her work. Abigayle focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and issues around intimacy and family. She speaks English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Abigayle aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk honestly about what matters. Conversations are shaped around each person’s needs so sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She listens for patterns tied to attachment, abandonment and communication problems, and helps people untangle those threads.

Her approach draws on trauma-focused methods when working with past hurt, and on mindfulness to help with overwhelming thoughts. Solution-focused work is used to set short-term goals and notice what already helps. Internal Family Systems ideas may be used to understand inner parts and how they influence choices.

Abigayle supports people dealing with sexual assault and related sexual concerns, as well as feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness or isolation. She also helps with forgiveness, rebuilding intimacy after infidelity, and finding life purpose. Conversations aim to be down-to-earth and achievable.

Sessions are adapted to what each person prefers, whether that means steady weekly work or shorter check-ins. Abigayle encourages anyone who is ready to take a first step to complete the simple intake and begin finding a clearer way forward.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online counselling

Abigayle often uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to build understanding and self-direction. This approach helps people clarify what matters and make choices that feel right for them.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when addressing the effects of past hurt, using careful pacing and techniques aimed at reducing the hold of traumatic memories. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach grounding and present-moment skills that reduce rumination and intense emotion.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods as work progresses in a collaborative way.

Online work is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face feeling, phone calls can be simpler on low bandwidth, and messaging options suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can continue even when schedules change.
