About Demi
Demi Abbott is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings three years of practical experience and a warm, approachable manner to her work. Demi aims to make sessions easy to engage with and to help people feel heard from the start.

Background and approach
She draws on a mix of therapeutic methods so sessions can be tailored to individual needs. Her style ranges from structured sessions with clear goals to open conversations that follow what feels important in the moment. She uses practical conversations and gentle reflection to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.
A sense of humour and a down-to-earth tone are part of her approach. Demi works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strains, career pressures, sleeping problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing body image, attachment, isolation, guilt and shame, and young adult challenges.
She offers sessions in English across formats such as video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Sessions & fees
How Demi's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can explore their feelings and make their own choices, which can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical techniques such as setting small goals, trying different behaviours and testing unhelpful thoughts, which is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Demi will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether sessions should be more structured, more exploratory, or a blend of styles.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let people keep eye contact and use visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging can fit around work or busy days and feel less intense for some people. These formats make it easier to get consistent support while fitting therapy around day-to-day life.
