About Abby
Abby Rounding works with people feeling stuck by low confidence, anxiety, stress or changes in life. She focuses on helping clients who struggle with self-esteem, relationships and feelings of emptiness. Abby uses simple, practical steps alongside open, non-judgemental conversation to help people move forward.
She trained integratively and holds BACP accreditation. Abby blends ideas from different approaches so sessions can be flexible and tailored to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when people are caught in repeating patterns and want clear tools to change them.
Background and approach
Abby places the relationship between counsellor and client at the centre of her work. She aims to create a space where people feel seen and safe enough to share difficult memories or emotions. Building that trust allows deeper issues to be noticed and worked through at a steady pace.
Therapy may include looking at early caregiving and attachment, noticing how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect, and developing new ways of communicating and relating. Practical exercises and worksheets are sometimes used to support learning between sessions. Sessions are led by the client and shaped to their needs.
Some meetings may focus on exploring meaning and history, while others are more task-focused and collaborative. First sessions usually cover introductions, basic assessments and agreement on goals and expectations.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abby will discuss different options and adapt methods to each person's needs and goals. This is a collaborative process - they will decide together whether to focus on understanding past patterns, changing daily behaviours, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share between sessions or choose a less formal way to reflect. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and family life.
