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 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

At Hue, we adopt a humanistic and existential approach to therapy. Our services focus on helping people navigate their internal shades in a place where they are free to explore their emotional needs while sharing their vulnerabilities and experiences.

Our practice is centred on a holistic, strengths-based and transpersonal counselling methodology. This approach aims to support clients in achieving their goals and developing the confidence and insight needed to navigate a current state of being, past experiences and life-changing events.

It involves expanding each individual’s internal resources and equipping them with practical skills and strategies that are designed to address and support their needs.
