Welcome!

Welcome to Fully Human counselling and psychotherapy practice. Fully Human is owned and run by Avigail Abarbanel. Avigail has worked in private practice in Canberra (Australia) for over ten years. She moved to the Scottish Highlands in January 2010 and started practising in July 2010. Avigail is a BACP and COSCA accredited psychotherapist and counsellor and is registered on the UKRCP as an independent psychotherapist/counsellor. Avigail works with adult individuals and couples on a variety of life issues.

Ian Barnes is Avigail's husband, and a partner in Fully Human. He is a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor. Ian currently works for Moray College in Elgin as a lecturer in computing, and so is not seeing clients for the time being. If this changes, we will update this site.
