Abby Boukogainnis
Counsellor or psychotherapist (ACA, PACFA or CPCA). Compassionate, Neurodiversity-Affirming Counselling for Meaningful Change
About
I’m Abby, a warm and collaborative counsellor supporting adults with anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, grief, trauma impacts, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. I have worked with many neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism, and offer a neuroaffirming space that respects your communication style, sensory needs, strengths, and lived experience. Using a trauma-informed blend of Solution-Focused, Narrative, ACT, and Compassion-Focused approaches, I help clients build insight, self-compassion, and practical strategies that fit their lives. I provide online counselling for adults across Australia.
What a first session looks like
Our first session is a relaxed, neurodiversity-affirming space to get to know one another. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, what matters to you, and what a meaningful life or change might look like. Drawing on ACT, narrative, systemic, and solution-focused approaches, we’ll identify your strengths, values, and preferred ways of communicating. You set the pace; there is no pressure to share more than feels safe. Together, we’ll begin to shape a direction that feels safe, meaningful, and right for you.
