Abby Rounding, BACP

Abby Rounding is a counsellor who helps people through stressful and painful moments. She focuses on building confidence, easing anxiety, and finding clearer ways to relate to others. Abby writes plainly and listens closely to help people feel understood and safer to talk about hard things.

She draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Abby uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among other ways, to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also values the relationship in the room and makes that connection central to the work.

Sessions often start with an introduction, a short assessment and a chat about goals and expectations. From there, work can shift between practical exercises and deeper exploration. Abby sometimes uses worksheets to build awareness and practice new habits between meetings.

She is comfortable supporting people with mild to moderate anxiety and depression. Other areas she helps with include self-esteem, relationship worries, jealousy, coping with life changes and issues around attachment and abandonment.

Abby has three years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She sees clients in the United Kingdom and runs therapy in English. For booking, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and learn safer ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides simple techniques to break repeating patterns and cope with anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try different ways of working. This is a collaborative process where methods are adapted to what helps most in practice.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the original profile does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or meetings without travel. It can also allow a mix of practical worksheet work and deeper conversation between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan a rhythm and style that suits each person’s needs.
