Abi Ayre – Person Centred Counsellor

I’m Abi Ayre, Counsellor in Person Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and CBT. I'm registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society).

I am a compassionate and dedicated professional with extensive experience working with clients facing a wide range of challenges. With a focus on addiction, sexual abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, major life changes, and personal growth, I provide a safe and supportive environment for healing and self-discovery.

I am committed to helping individuals navigate their unique journeys toward emotional well-being and personal transformation. I have over two decades of invaluable experience in the health sector, with a rich background spanning 22 years.

My mission is to provide an integrative counselling service, empowering my clients to achieve holistic well-being and I believe in the power of integration, combining evidence-based therapeutic approaches with personalised care to address the diverse needs of each of my clients.

My approach is based on the understanding that every individual is unique, with their own set of experiences, challenges, and strengths. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you will feel heard, valued, and supported on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

My mission extends beyond symptom reduction, embracing personal growth, resilience, and empowerment. I am committed to helping my clients develop the insight, skills, and resources they need to navigate life's challenges, cultivate meaningful connections, and live authentically.

I believe that healing is a collaborative journey—one that requires compassion, curiosity, and courage. I will walk alongside you on your journey, offering support, guidance, and encouragement every step of the way.

I strive to create positive change, promote holistic well-being, and inspire hope for a brighter, more fulfilling future.

I love being outdoors and spending time with family and friends. My favourite season is autumn and my favourite food is Mexican. I have a Bluepoint Ragdoll cat called Luna and a black domestic cat called Tallulah. I enjoy being in the countryside but also by the sea. I have an eclectic taste in music but especially enjoy jazz. I enjoy meditation.

What people say about Abi

I wish I had sought counselling sooner and if I had known it would be with someone like Abi, I think I would have. I have learnt to talk about my feelings and communicate in a healthier way. Thank you for being so warm and kind and listening to me.
