About Abby
Abby Rounding is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through low confidence, anxiety and life changes. She aims to create a calm, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. Her work is straightforward and practical, so sessions tend to centre on real-life problems and what can be done about them.
Abby draws on Client-Centred Therapy as a base and combines this with other ways of working to suit each person. She highlights the importance of the therapeutic relationship and believes that being listened to can open the door to deeper change. That relationship sits alongside practical tools when they are needed.
She has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration. Abby uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when people get stuck in repetitive or unhelpful patterns, offering worksheets and practical steps to break those cycles.
Sessions may include looking at early life and attachment patterns, noticing how thoughts, feelings, bodies and behaviours interact, and working on communication, self‑worth and relationship skills. Some meetings are reflective and exploratory, while others are collaborative and action‑focused according to what the client needs.
First sessions are usually an introduction where basic details, assessments and goals are discussed. Abby encourages people to lead the pace of therapy while she supports and guides the process.
How Abby uses talking therapies online
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the quality of the relationship between counsellor and client. It involves active listening, reflecting back what you say, and helping you feel understood so you can make changes at your own pace.Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at early care and connection and how those patterns affect current relationships. This approach helps when people notice repeated difficulties with trust, closeness or separation.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to break unhelpful thought and behaviour cycles. It can be useful for repetitive anxiety or low mood and often includes simple exercises or worksheets to try between sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Abby will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try ways of working together. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match the person's needs.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so they fit your life and routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check‑in sessions when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about practical arrangements and schedule options when you make your first appointment to ensure they suit you.
