Counsellor/Psychotherapist MPF
(BA Social SC, Master’s in Counselling)
Online & In-person
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 inner lives of people, how thoughts, emotions, identity, culture, and environment interact to shape who we become. I have always been particularly interested in how diversity of experience, neurotype, background, and belonging influence development, attachment, and our sense of meaning across the lifespan.
My work is shaped by a deep respect for difference and the many ways people come to belong, within themselves, in relationships, and in the places they live. I support individuals who are navigating life transitions, cultural and identity shifts, and periods of existential questioning, where familiar roles, coping strategies, or ways of being no longer fit.
A significant part of my work is with international and culturally diverse clients who are in the process of integrating into a new country. This experience often involves far more than practical adjustment; it can bring grief, disorientation, questions of identity, safety, and belonging. Therapy offers a space to slow down, integrate lived experience, and develop a sense of internal steadiness while life reorganises externally, supporting the formation of home from the inside out.
Much of my work supports people through life transitions and existential periods, moments when familiar roles, identities, or coping strategies no longer fit. These experiences can arise through changes in relationships, work, parenthood, migration, ageing, health, or a loss of meaning or direction. Rather than viewing these moments as problems to be solved, I see them as invitations to deepen self-understanding and to live more intentionally.
I believe that healing and growth are supported through self-compassion, integration, and a respectful relationship with one’s inner world. When people feel safe enough to be honest with themselves, including their doubts, contradictions, and strengths, they are better able to make choices that are protective, sustainable, and aligned with who they are becoming.
Kerime's Approach
My approach is woven through every part of Hue Therapy, but its foundation is simple and intentional. To find safety, agency and connection in the complexity and nuance of the human experience. My work centres on emotions, the inner child, and the development of the inner wise person.
Many of us learned early on how to adapt, manage, or minimise ourselves in order to stay safe. These strategies were intelligent and protective, and they often remain long after they are needed. Over time, this can lead to burnout, disconnection, and a sense of living from survival rather than choice.
In therapy, we work gently and collaboratively to strengthen the relationship between the inner child and the inner wise adult, the part of you that can stay present, grounded, and responsive rather than overwhelmed. As these parts become more differentiated and embodied, people often experience a greater sense of internal safety, self-trust, and agency.
This way of working supports a return to the authentic self, not by fixing or erasing parts, but by building a secure internal relationship that can guide and anchor you in daily life.
This approach is held not only within individual therapy, but across all relational work. And one of those relationships will be the one between you and me. I work collaboratively, transparently, and at a pace that honours your nervous system and lived experience.
Who I Work With
At Hue Therapy, I support adolescents, adults, and older adults, as well as couples and families.
Many of the people I work with are sensitive, thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who feel exhausted from holding everything together and are longing to BE instead of DO. Others arrive feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who they are beneath years of adaptation.
