About Kerimé

Kerimé Abay
Counsellor | Psychotherapist MPF
(BASocialSC, Masters in Counselling)

My name is Kerimé Abay (she/her) and I am the founder of Hue Therapy. For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviours that exist within all of us. I held a special interest in how these manifest during childhood/adolescence and how it shapes our development, attachment and the unique formation of the self.

This curiosity led me to complete a Bachelor of Social Science, majoring in Youth Work. I specialised in working with young people, many of whom were from disadvantaged backgrounds and marginalised communities. I then spent six years working for both Government and Non-for-Profit Organisations where I provided forensic therapeutic intervention and case management. This work involved navigating the complexities of the social and judicial systems within Australia, whilst maintaining a person-centred and trauma informed approach. What I found most rewarding was counselling young people and their families to navigate relationship with themselves, others, their communities and natural environment.

Inspired by this work experience, I completed a Masters Degree in Counselling after which I took on a new role as a Family and Relationship Therapist. I’m a registered practitioner in both Australia and Denmark

I wholeheartedly believe helping people cultivate self compassion and a greater connection to self is key to healing and maintaining healthy relationships.

The philosophy and values at the core of Hue Therapy reflect my personal and professional experience and guides my approach to connecting with and supporting individuals.

Kerime's Approach

You will see my approach woven through the essence of Hue Therapy. However, what I'm called to share with you here is the foundation of my practice, which is centred around emotions, attending to the inner child and cultivating the inner wise person. strengthen the connection, awareness and embodiment of these parts of us can guide and later anchor ourselves in our authentic self. This way of working is not only held through the individual work but also when strengthening connection in all relationships. And one of those relationships will be between you and me.
