Cherish Counselling Practice (CCP) is primarily a counselling service. Our aim is to offer Christ centred support, through the provision of professional counselling care underpinned within a Biblical framework. As well as counselling, CCP also provides a range of Biblical resources including, Cherished Moments Podcast, links to articles, book recommendations, workshops and events including retreats. Our hope is that these resources will provide the necessary support for Christians, both individuals and families who struggle with a host of life challenges that impact their mental health. We believe that theology should inform our view of psychology and not the other way round!
Abigail Richardson is a committed follower of Christ and the founder of Cherish Counselling Practice. Abigail is a qualified counsellor, having specialised in therapeutic work with children, she also works with adults, working with people to help them make sense of their thoughts and emotions, using a range of counselling skills. Over the years, Abigail has had the wonderful privilege of walking alongside many precious individuals while aiding them through difficult situations. In more recent years she has deepened in her study of the scripture and has seen how the Bible speaks to all of life including the difficulties in human emotions, behaviour and thought. This understanding led to a greater desire to support more Christians in need of counselling care. Abigail’s completed the dynamics of Biblical change course with Biblical Counselling UK and uses her training and experience, under the authority of scripture to inform the counselling given.
