Abby Rounding

Abby Rounding is a counsellor who focuses on helping people move through low confidence, anxiety and periods of feeling stuck. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk about what’s hard and start to find practical ways forward. Abby welcomes people dealing with stress, relationship problems, self-esteem concerns, depression and life changes, including issues like codependency and attachment difficulties.

Abby trained in an integrative way, drawing on different counselling theories to match what each person needs. She has additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which she uses when people want practical steps to break repeating patterns. Abby also values the therapeutic connection and puts the relationship at the centre of sessions.

In therapy she may look at early care and how that shaped current patterns. She explores thoughts, feelings, body responses and behaviour to build a clearer picture of what keeps difficulties going. Sessions can include conversational exploration, worksheets and practical exercises to build new habits.

Abby describes sessions as client-led. She offers structure when it helps, but follows the client’s pace and priorities. Some meetings may focus on deeper meaning while others are problem-solving and action-oriented.

First sessions are usually an introduction, taking basic details, doing assessments and setting goals and expectations. Abby works with mild to moderate anxiety and depression and supports clients as they develop more confident ways of living.
