Abby Rounding, BACP

Abby Rounding is a therapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people through challenging periods and helps them build greater confidence and healthier relationships. She holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

With three years of experience, Abby trained integratively and has additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which she uses alongside other approaches to combine practical strategies with deeper exploration. She has a particular interest in supporting people who struggle with low confidence in social situations, performance and relationships, a concern she understands from her own personal journey and professional learning.

Abby places the therapeutic connection at the centre of her work, viewing a strong client-therapist relationship as the foundation for meaningful change. She is able to work with mild to moderate anxiety and depression and commonly supports clients facing stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life transitions, as well as related issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency, body image, guilt and loneliness.

Therapy with Abby may involve exploring early caregiving and its influence, attending to thoughts, feelings, bodily responses and behaviour, and collaboratively developing healthier ways of being in communication, lifestyle and self-care. Sessions are led by the client and can include practical tools such as worksheets or more reflective work depending on the client’s needs. First sessions are typically an introduction to take details, complete assessments and discuss goals and expectations.
