Psychology with Abelina offers 50-minute Telehealth Psychological Therapy Sessions
​​
Individual therapy with me is a collaborative, grounding, and deeply compassionate process designed to support adult women seeking meaningful, long-term change.
My approach weaves together trauma-informed care, mind–body awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic modalities, creating a space where you can safely explore your inner world and
move toward greater clarity, connection, and self-trust.
​
What can you experience in our therapy sessions together?
​
Trauma-Informed & Somatic-Based Support
My work is guided by the understanding that our bodies hold lived experience. Together, we gently explore sensations, emotional cues, and nervous system patterns to build safety, regulation, and resilience. This is not about reliving trauma — it’s about creating space for healing at a pace that feels supportive, grounded, and empowering.
​
Nervous System Regulation
Regulation is central to wellbeing. I integrate tools that help you understand and support your nervous system, including breathwork, grounding techniques, movement, and strategies to reduce overwhelm and burnout. These practices help cultivate a greater sense of internal stability and capacity.
​
Inner Child & Self-Compassion Work
Many present-day challenges are rooted in earlier experiences of disconnection or unmet needs. Through inner child work, compassionate inquiry, and gentle exploration, we work toward healing these internal layers and building a more nurturing relationship with yourself.
​
Mindfulness & Presence
Mindfulness helps you slow down, tune in, and respond rather than react. I incorporate both informal and guided mindfulness practices to deepen self-awareness, emotional balance, and connection to the present moment.
​
Psychodynamic Exploration
Unconscious patterns often shape how we move through the world. Using a psychodynamic lens, we explore your relational history, attachment patterns, and internal narratives to understand how past experiences influence current behaviour, relationships, and emotional responses.
​
CBT & DBT-Informed Techniques
When helpful, I draw on practical, skills-based strategies from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These approaches support you in developing coping skills, reframing unhelpful thoughts, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening communication and boundaries.
​
Spiritually-Aligned Approaches
For those who feel drawn to it, I incorporate gentle, spiritually-oriented perspectives — such as meaning-making, intuition, and energetics of healing — always guided by your comfort and beliefs. This layer is entirely optional and adaptable.
