About Abby

Abby Rounding works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She blends talking therapies with practical techniques and centres the therapeutic connection in her work. Abby is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

Abby offers help when a lack of confidence affects day-to-day life, social situations, performance or close relationships. She uses conversation to look at how early care and attachment shape current reactions. She also introduces concrete tools when patterns become repetitive and hard to break.

Her way of working mixes different approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used for practical steps and worksheets to build new habits. Attachment-focused ideas guide exploration of relationship patterns and feelings linked to early experience.

Sessions are guided by the person attending. Abby will bring structure where helpful but lets the client lead the topics. Some sessions may focus on meaning and history, while others concentrate on skills and behaviour change.

Typical early sessions include an introduction, gathering background details, and discussing goals and expectations. Abby says this initial step helps agree what to work on and how progress will be checked.

She supports people with mild to moderate anxiety and depression and can help address issues such as codependency, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness and life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. Online sessions can explore those patterns through reflective conversation about past and present interactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying out practical steps to change them, which can include worksheets and short tasks between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together they will choose which methods to use. This remains a collaborative process as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can fit more easily into busy days by removing travel and making it simpler to schedule sessions at convenient times. It can also make some practical tools easier to share, such as digital worksheets or short remote exercises, and allows the same mix of reflective and skills-focused work that she uses in face-to-face practice.
