Abby Rawlinson

Hi there, I’m Abby! I’m a qualified integrative therapist, and you might know me from my popular Instagram account, @therapywithabby, or my recent book, Reclaiming You, which came out earlier this year.

Whether you’re dealing with a specific issue or just have that gut feeling something isn’t quite right, therapy can be a powerful tool to explore your thoughts and make positive changes. We all go through times when life feels a bit too overwhelming to handle on our own. That’s where therapy comes in - it’s a space to find support, gain clarity, and navigate those tough times with guidance.

My top priority as a therapist is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I genuinely believe the relationship between client and therapist is the most important part of the therapy experience. That’s why I work from the heart, often with a healthy dose of humour and playfulness.

Before training to become a therapist I worked in the media industry for 15+ years, so I intimately understand the particular demands, challenges and struggles of working in corporate and creative environments.

I know starting with a new therapist can be nerve-wracking, especially if it’s your first time in therapy. But my goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and confident as you take this step towards meaningful change.

My approach is warm, relaxed and collaborative, and I use a range of modern approaches depending on your needs. I blend elements of neuroscience, CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic and somatic, body-based therapy into a style that feels down to earth, relatable and compassionate.

Treatment areas:

• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Depression and low mood
• Stress and burnout
• Imposter syndrome
• Social anxiety
• Issues with boundaries
• Feeling disconnected/lonely
• Low confidence and self-esteem
• Complex trauma and C-PTSD
• Grief and loss
• Relationship problems
• Lack and direction and purpose
• Addiction
• Family issues and conflict
• Life transitions
• Parenting and matrescence

Benefits of therapy:

• Discover the root of your emotional reactions and triggers

• Handle everyday stress more effectively

• Make decisions without second-guessing yourself

• Learn to place healthy boundaries without feeling guilty

• Create work/life balance

• Learn to identify and express your feelings

• Grow your self-belief and take new opportunities

• Learn to trust others and deepen relationships

• Make peace with your past

• Soften the inner critic

• Increase awareness of the mind-body connection

I help counsellors and psychotherapists with the business and marketing side of private practice - from attracting more of the right clients and building a steady practice, to developing income streams beyond 1:1 work.

I’m an integrative therapist (MBACP), business coach for therapists and author of Reclaiming You (Penguin, 2024). Before training as a therapist, I spent 15 years working in creative marketing agencies, so my work now brings together two areas I know well: therapy and marketing.

I’m also the creator of @therapywithabby, where I’ve built an online community of more than 250,000 people around accessible therapy and mental health content.

I now use my experience across therapy, marketing and content creation to help other therapists get clearer about what they offer, communicate it in a way that connects with the people they want to work with, and create more ways for potential clients to find them.

This might be useful if you:

* aren’t getting as many enquiries as you’d like

* want to attract more of the clients you really enjoy working with

* struggle to explain what you do in a way that resonates with prospective clients

* aren’t sure whether you need a niche - or what yours should be

* have a website or directory profile that isn’t generating enquiries

* want to become more visible without relying entirely on social media

* aren’t sure which marketing activities are actually worth your time

* want your practice to feel steadier and more sustainable

* are interested in developing income streams beyond 1:1 therapy

You don’t need to want a huge practice or a big online presence. My aim is to help you build the practice that works for you — whether that’s a few private clients alongside other work, a full private practice, or a broader portfolio career.

I offer online business coaching and training for counsellors, psychotherapists and other therapy professionals.

The Steady Practice

The Steady Practice is my 12-week online programme for therapists who want a steady, reliable flow of the right client enquiries - without relying on luck or living on social media.

The programme takes you through four phases:

Become Clear — clarify your positioning, messaging and fees, so prospective clients understand who you are and how you can help.

Become Visible — create more ways for the right clients to find you, including your website, directories, Google and AI search, referrals and social media.

Become Chosen — build trust, credibility and a strong professional reputation through referrals, email, press, podcasts and longer-form content.

Become Sustainable — create a marketing system you can maintain, put useful systems and automations in place, explore income streams beyond 1:1 work and build your practice around your capacity.

The programme combines self-paced video lessons and resources with fortnightly live group coaching and a private community. Calls are recorded, with lifetime access to the lessons and resources.

1:1 business mentorship

I also offer three-month 1:1 business mentorship for therapists who want tailored support.

We can focus on what would make the biggest difference to your practice - from positioning, messaging and attracting more enquiries to your website, marketing strategy, pricing or additional income streams.

Power Hours

Power Hours are one-off, focused 60- or 90-minute business coaching sessions for therapists who want help with a particular area of their practice.

You might bring your website or directory profile for feedback, work through your positioning or niche, troubleshoot a lack of enquiries, or get clarity on what to focus on next.

Power Hours are £175 for 60 minutes or £250 for 90 minutes.

All coaching and training is online, and I work with therapists throughout the UK.

Not sure where to start?

I offer a free 15-minute discovery call to chat about where you are with your practice, what you’d like help with, and how I might be able to support you.
