Abbie Bonnett

Abbie Bonnett is a counsellor who helps people untangle feelings around identity, intimacy and relationships. She is registered with NCPS and brings three years of practice to sessions. Abbie writes from lived experience as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and aims to create a non-judgemental space for honest conversation.

She offers support around gender identity and gender dysphoria, and works with people navigating transgender, nonbinary and gender nonconforming experiences. Abbie also supports intimacy-related concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous dynamics, and relationship difficulties such as communication problems and attachment issues.

Her work covers a broader range of concerns too, including anxiety, depression, panic, obsessive-compulsive worries, ADHD, autism and the strain of isolation and loneliness. She can talk through body image, guilt and shame, and coping after trauma or abandonment. Abbie avoids any practices associated with conversion therapy.

In sessions she takes a person-centred approach that puts the individual’s perspective first. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to the client and to find practical ways forward. She adapts to different relationship styles and neurodiversity, and will focus on what feels most useful for each person.

People often come to her seeking help to manage overwhelming emotions, to improve closeness with partners, or to understand their identity more clearly. To start, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

How client-centred work translates to online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to help them make sense of their feelings. This approach is often used for identity questions, relationship struggles, and feeling isolated.

In practice this means conversations focus on the client’s goals and values. The therapist will help you decide what to work on and check in regularly about progress. That collaborative tone helps when discussing sensitive topics such as gender identity, kink and relationship styles.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments and to access someone with lived experience of LGBTQ issues. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep therapy going during busy weeks. Exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The therapist will work with each person to find the approach and schedule that best match their needs and preferences.
