Meet the Founder
Hello, I’m Abi — Dr Abi Adanijo, a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist.
I created HerMind to offer something more than traditional therapy — a space where women can feel genuinely supported, understood, and able to grow at their own pace.
Through my work across NHS services and private practice, I’ve supported young people and adults navigating a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship challenges, and the impact of physical health. Over time, I saw how many women were not just looking for help with what felt difficult, but for a space to better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and move forward with clarity.
HerMind was built from that understanding — to bring together therapy, personal growth, and supportive community in a way that feels more personal, accessible, and aligned with real life.
My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe support should be shaped around you — your needs, your pace, and your story. Drawing on evidence-based and relational approaches, I work alongside you to make sense of your experiences, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.
I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life and value the many ways we experience and understand ourselves. HerMind is an inclusive and affirming space for women of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
*Please note that I’m only able to work with clients residing within the UK.
