My name is Abi Howells and I'm a Cheltenham based professional psychodynamic and person-centred counsellor.

I work with young adults aged 18-30, people with neurodiversity's, and the LGBTQ+ community. When you choose to work with me, you will be heard and your experiences will be validated. I approach every session with an open mind, and give you the autonomy to bring anything to each session, which we can explore together. Counselling is for everyone, and I am extremely passionate about what I do. Please don't hesitate to contact me, I usually get back to people the same day, and typically see new clients within 7 days of initial contact.

I offer easily accessible counselling either face to face, via zoom or telephone, whichever suits you the best. I use the person centred and psychodynamic approach which means you lead the sessions, and together we explore what's happening whilst linking the past to the present in a free flowing, non-directive manor.

I believe that childhood/ life experiences shape us into who we are today, together we can explore what has happened to you throughout your life and try to make sense of patterns of behaviour that may feel so out of your control. The aim is to gain self-awareness and take back control of your life and live it the way you had always hoped of.
