About Demi
Demi Abbott is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to make therapy approachable and human. She writes and speaks plainly, offering a warm, empathetic presence so people feel safe to talk. Demi often works with adults navigating stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes.
She also supports those coping with grief, workplace strain and parenting concerns. Demi draws on several ways of working to match what a person needs in the moment.
Background and approach
She uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy for practical steps and problem-solving. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to help explore patterns from the past that affect current feelings and choices. Sessions can be structured with clear goals, or open and exploratory depending on what someone prefers.
Demi aims to be flexible and down-to-earth, mixing practical tools with space to reflect. A sense of humour is welcomed alongside the harder conversations. Her background includes charity work providing solution-focused therapy and supporting people in their 20s and 30s to build self-worth and self-understanding.
Demi keeps learning through ongoing continuing professional development to refine her practice. People usually start by sharing their goals and what they hope to change. Demi then collaborates to choose an approach and a pace that fits each person’s life and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person as they are and offering a non-judgemental space to talk. It helps people clarify their own feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical steps and exercises to try between sessions. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Demi discusses options and makes decisions together with each person, matching methods to their goals and preferences. Therapy can shift over time as needs change, and she aims to be collaborative about what feels most helpful.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a more face-to-face feel, while phone sessions can be easier when someone has limited bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who want to write rather than speak. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, parenting and other daily commitments, while keeping therapy accessible across different locations.
