About Abby
Abby Rounding is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical for those who struggle with confidence or find social and relationship situations hard. Abby uses a warm, person-centred way of working so clients can feel heard and take steps forward at their own pace.
She brings three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Abby trained integratively and draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method. Sessions may include talking through early life experiences, exploring emotional and behavioural patterns, and using simple tools to build awareness. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy can help when someone feels stuck in unhelpful cycles.
Abby also values the therapeutic relationship and sees it as central to change. That relationship creates a space where deeper topics can be looked at safely and honestly. Work in sessions can range from reflective conversations to collaborative problem solving.
This might involve worksheets, communication practice, or trying new ways of thinking and acting between meetings. Abby aims to help clients develop healthier routines, stronger self-regard and clearer ways of relating to others. First meetings are usually an introduction, gathering background, discussing goals and agreeing how to work together.
Abby keeps sessions led by the client while offering structure and input when useful.
How approaches like attachment work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early caring relationships shape how someone connects now. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where a person feels heard and respected; this helps people build confidence and explore difficult feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and simple plans to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Abby will listen to what you want to change and what feels useful, then suggest ways of working that match your goals. Decisions about techniques and pace are made collaboratively, and the plan can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy provides flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you use face-to-face discussion and screen-share worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or study commitments and to keep momentum between meetings.
