About Abby

Abby Rounding works with people feeling stuck by low confidence, anxiety, stress, or life changes. She focuses on practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope. Abby is clear and calm in sessions and aims to help clients spot patterns and try different ways of responding.

She trained in an integrative way and holds BACP accreditation, which means she follows recognised standards for counsellors. Abby has three years of clinical experience supporting those with mild to moderate anxiety and depression.

Background and approach

She often helps people who struggle with self‑esteem, relationship worries and major transitions. In sessions she balances talking about life history with hands‑on techniques. That can include looking at early attachment, noticing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and practising simple exercises to change them.

Sometimes she uses worksheets to build awareness and plan next steps. Abby values the relationship itself as part of the work. She aims to create a safe enough space where clients feel heard and can try being honest about difficult feelings.

This trust then makes it easier to try different approaches and make changes. Therapy with Abby is collaborative and client led. Early sessions usually gather background, set goals and agree how to work together.

Later sessions may dive deeper into meaning or stay focused on practical change, depending on what the client needs.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment‑based work looks at early care and how it shapes current relationships. Online sessions can involve gentle exploration of memories and patterns to help clients notice how they relate to others today. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising alternative responses. In remote sessions this often means talking through examples, trying short exercises between meetings and using worksheets or written tasks to track progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and preferences. That might mean focusing more on practical CBT techniques for someone who wants quick tools, or exploring attachment and life story where deeper emotional work is needed.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging offers flexibility. Video allows face‑to‑face conversation, phone calls can be used when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check‑in, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection or quick support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
