Abigail De Almeida is an integrative counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions.

Online support
How treatment approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters most to someone and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by shifting attention from worry to meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress, with clear exercises to practise between sessions.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access different states of mind for habit change or emotional processing. It is used alongside other approaches to support motivation, confidence and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a typed back-and-forth for quick check-ins, and messaging can support short updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
