About Abby
Abby Rounding is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life changes, and offers support for mild to moderate anxiety and depression.
Abby often supports people who lack confidence in social situations, performance or relationships. She draws on her own experience of struggling with confidence to relate to those feeling stuck or behind. Initial sessions are usually an introduction to take details, run assessments and set goals.
Her approach is integrative. Abby blends thinking and feeling-focused methods and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when clients want practical steps to break repeated patterns. She also values the therapeutic relationship and sees it as central to deeper work.
Therapy sessions may look at early caregiving and how that shaped current attachment styles. Conversations cover thoughts, emotions, bodily responses and behaviours so clients get a rounded view of their situation. Abby may use worksheets for awareness and to practise new ways of responding.
Sessions are led by the client while Abby offers structure, intuition and clinical knowledge. Some meetings focus on meaning and personal history, and others are collaborative problem-solving about communication, lifestyle, self-regard or relationship habits. Her work aims to help people develop more helpful ways of being.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early care and how it shapes current relationships. It helps when patterns of distance, avoidance or fear of abandonment affect friendships and romantic relationships.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship and on listening without judgement. It helps people feel heard and gradually make sense of emotions and choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It offers practical exercises and worksheets to break cycles and build new habits, which can suit people who prefer clear, actionable steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
