About Abby
Abby Rounding is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and life changes, including concerns about life purpose. Abby focuses on helping people who feel stuck or lacking confidence in social, work and relationship settings.
Her work draws on a blend of therapeutic models so sessions can shift between talking, practical exercises and reflection. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when clients are caught in repeating patterns and want hands-on strategies to change behaviour. Abby also values exploring how early attachments and past experiences shape present relationships and emotions.
Sessions typically begin with an introductory meeting to gather background, discuss goals and agree how to work together. Some appointments use worksheets or practical exercises to support change, while others centre on talking through difficult memories or feelings. Abby aims for a collaborative approach where the client leads the priorities and the counsellor offers direction when useful.
She notes she works with mild to moderate anxiety and depression and brings particular attention to attachment-related concerns such as abandonment, codependency and communication problems. Topics she often addresses include body image, guilt and shame, isolation, divorce and separations, and the search for life purpose.
Abby offers sessions in English for people located in the United Kingdom. The counselling model is integrative, moving between practical steps and deeper exploration according to what the client needs at the time.
How therapeutic approaches shape remote sessions
Abby works with several approaches that suit online therapy. Attachment-based work looks at early care and how it affects current relationships; it helps when patterns from the past repeat in present connections and trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, offering space to talk and be heard without a heavy agenda; it can help people clarify what matters and regain confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviours that keep someone stuck, offering practical steps and exercises to test new ways of responding.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as needs or priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life and can reduce travel time. Some formats let people do short check-ins, others support longer exploratory sessions, and certain options work better when bandwidth is limited or when an audio-only call is preferred over video. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose the session pattern that suits your daily routine and aims.
