About Abby
Abby Rounding is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. Abby also focuses on codependency, attachment concerns and life changes.
Abby draws on several approaches in her work. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early care shapes current relationships. She applies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) when repetitive thoughts and behaviours need practical strategies. She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand feelings and personal history.
Sessions begin with an introductory meeting to gather details and set goals. Abby aims to build a straightforward working relationship that is led by the client. She balances listening with offering practical tools such as worksheets when useful.
In conversations she may look at how childhood experiences influenced current patterns. She also examines thoughts, emotions, bodily reactions and behaviour to help people spot unhelpful cycles. That mix helps people try new ways of communicating and relating to others.
Some sessions are quieter, exploring meaning and past experiences. Other sessions are more active and collaborative, working out steps to change habits and increase confidence. Abby describes this as using her intuition, knowledge and experience to guide the process while keeping sessions client-led.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early care and closeness shape current relationships. Online sessions can explore those patterns and how they affect connection, boundaries and codependent behaviours. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and routines and trying practical steps to change them. In online meetings CBT can include worksheets and behavioural experiments to use between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person leading the conversation while the counsellor reflects and listens. This helps people feel heard and decide what to work on next.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on thought patterns, attachment history or practical skills, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins that fit a lunch break. It can also make it easier to use worksheets and share written material during the session. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients choose a rhythm and format that fits their everyday schedule.
