About Demi
Demi Abbott is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Demi has experience supporting adults mainly in their 20s and 30s, with a focus on building self-esteem and increasing self-understanding.
How Demi works
She has also worked with a local charity providing solution-focused therapy, which sharpened her skills in practical goal-setting and short-term change. Her way of working is flexible and collaborative. She draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic and client-centred ideas, and can offer structured sessions with clear aims or more open, exploratory conversations.
She believes a sense of humour can help alongside serious work. Demi commonly helps people with stress and anxiety, low mood and self-esteem, relationship and parenting struggles, grief, workplace strain and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, seasonal affective disorder and self-harm thoughts.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
How Demi's approaches work online
Demi often uses client-centred ideas that prioritise the person's own goals and experiences, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach can be useful for building self-esteem and exploring what matters to the individual.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Solution-focused elements are used to set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Demi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means together they can try structured tools or more open conversations and change course if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a written back-and-forth and text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
