Helping You Reconnect With What Matters Most
At some point, many of us feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected - from ourselves, from others, or from life. At Becoming Yourself Psychotherapy, we offer one-to-one therapy to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who you truly are.
We're Danica and Heath Abbott, a wife-and-husband team of UKCP-accredited integrative psychotherapists with significant experience in private practice and for various organisations. Whether you're navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, parenting stress, or simply a sense that something needs to change, we're here to support you- warmly, respectfully, and without judgment.
We offer therapy for adults in person in Jersey, Channel Islands, and online across the UK. If you're looking for compassionate, ethical, professional therapy that meets you where you are, we invite you to get in touch.
Let’s begin your journey back to yourself.
About Danica
Integrative Psychotherapist | UKCP Accredited
I offer a warm, inclusive space where you can explore who you are, what you need, and what might be holding you back. My practice is rooted in kindness, curiosity, deep empathy and emotional attunement. Having invested in my own therapy, I understand how vulnerable this process can feel, but I have also experienced significant long-term benefits.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, transitions, trauma and identity. I also support neurodivergent clients and proudly offer LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy.
Alongside individual work, I support parents using approaches informed by Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP). I support families move toward more calm, connection and cooperation – especially in the face of stress.

About Heath
Integrative Psychotherapist | UKCP Accredited
I offer a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, feel seen, and make sense of your story. My work is integrative, trauma-informed, developmental and relational -focused on supporting clients find clarity, confidence and emotional well-being.
My experience includes working with individuals and families through emotional distress, relational breakdowns, and family conflict - including child-to-parent violence. I draw on a range of therapeutic models, alongside Non-Violent Resistance (NVR), to support long-term change.
Clients describe me as knowledgeable, engaged, and grounded. I’m especially passionate about supporting people develop a stronger relationship with themselves and others, and to parent with greater presence and confidence.

How Therapy Helps
Therapy is a space to explore what's beneath the surface, make sense of your story, and move toward lasting change. It can help you:
- Understand how the past is shaping your present
- Shift unhelpful patterns and reconnect with your values
- Strengthen emotional awareness and resilience
- Improve relationships and communication
- Feel more grounded, confident, and in control
Whether you're facing a specific challenge or just feel like something’s “off,” therapy offers a place to figure things out - gently, safely and at your own pace.
Our Approach
We are both integrative psychotherapists, drawing from a wide range of therapeutic models to meet you as a whole person. Our work is informed by:
- Relational and developmental frameworks
- Attachment theory and early life dynamics
- Trauma-informed, body-aware practices
- A strong belief in your capacity for healing and growth
Therapy is not about fixing you - it's about understanding who you are, how you got here, and what needs to shift for you to feel more like yourself again.
