About Abby
Abby Rounding, BACP, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression and life changes. Abby has a particular interest in supporting people who feel unsure in social settings, performance situations or relationships, and she understands how that can affect daily life.
Abby uses an integrative way of working, drawing on several approaches to suit what a person needs. She has had additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which she uses for practical techniques when someone feels stuck in repeating patterns.
Sessions often look at early life and how care received in childhood influences adult behaviour and relationships. Abby also explores thoughts, emotions, bodily responses and behaviours to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
She aims to build a collaborative working relationship where the client leads sessions. Some meetings may focus on deeper meaning and life experience, while others are more practical and skills-based, for example using worksheets to support change.
First sessions are normally an introduction where details, assessments, goals and expectations are discussed. Abby works with mild to moderate anxiety and depression and encourages people to bring what matters most to them into the room.
Approaches used in online sessions
Abby draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment-Based work looks at early relationships and how they shape current ways of relating, which can help with connection and trust issues. Client-Centred work focuses on the relationship in the room and on listening closely to what matters to the person, supporting exploration of feelings and personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers structured ways to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to practice small experiments to change them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Abby will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This collaborative decision-making helps match practical techniques and relational exploration to each person's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions without needing to travel. It also allows a therapist to use worksheets and exercises digitally, and to focus on conversations and practical steps that translate into daily routines.
