Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who gets it!
Peer Support Services I Offer
One To One Peer Support Sessions
I offer 90, 60 and 30 minute sessions to provide ongoing support and urgent care for anyone living with an invisible disability.
PMDD Peer Support Community Meetings
Each week I host community meetings to support those navigating a Premenstrual Disorder.
PMDD Community Discussion Groups
I hold discussion groups on different themes impacting those with Premenstrual Disorders.
I never want lack of resources to be a barrier to care. I am on disability, and know what it feels like to not be able to access the support I need. If you would like to book a session, come to a meeting or discussion group but can’t afford my rates, please reach out to me on the contact page and we will work something out.
Are you feeling financially resourced? Pay it forward!
In the spirit of care and community, you are welcome to pay a little extra for your services so I can afford to offer my time for free for those who can’t access the care they need.
Peer Support Sessions
My support style is intuitive, grounded in presence, kindness, authenticity, warmth and compassion.
My approach is one of curiosity. I am honest and wholehearted gently encouraging you towards growth and healing.
I listen deeply, and can be your mirror, offering my observations for self-reflection.
I draw from my living experiences of navigating a chronic illness and Premenstrual Disorder.
Testimonials
“It feels so empowering to work with Abbie. With similar lived experiences and exceptional listening skills, she makes me feel seen, heard and understood. She creates a completely judgement-free space for me to share my biggest vulnerabilities.
I came away from one session with a practical tool for anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns.
Abbie is helping me to become the self-respecting person that I want to be, and to create the life that I want to live. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
-Tessa, New Zealand.
“An incredible listener is a rare thing. Listening is a skill we all think we have, and yet, very few of us act as a sounding board in the way Abbie does.
She is hugely empathetic, attentive to the subtleties of what you're saying and highly knowledgeable on the theory, and practice of PMDD. If you want someone who just 'gets it' when it comes to PMDD, Abbie is that person.”
-Elsa, UK.
“Abbie is kind, empathetic, authentic, honest, relatable & funny; she is an absolute gem. I feel so blessed to have her in my corner. She has held me through some really dark moments and even though she’s seen me at my lowest, her perception of me has never changed. She reminds me of who I am, even when I can’t connect to myself which is especially useful for someone with PMDD. I truly feel understood by Abbie and I know she genuinely cares about me.
abbie is also really good at helping me sort through the stories in my mind that PMDD is trying to push forward. After each session with Abbie I leave with a sense of clarity and actionable steps I can take toward the direction I want to go.
Additionally, Abbie has a way with language, she is extremely talented at using words to describe and validate what I am experiencing. If you have PMDD or a chronic illness, Abbie will be a great addition to your care team.
Thank you Abbie for being you!!!”
-Michelle, USA.
