Abby Rawlinson (MBACP) is a British integrative therapist, author, and influential content creator. Her therapeutic approach blends elements of psychodynamic psychotherapy, neuroscience, mindfulness, CBT, and somatic therapy into a style that is relatable, compassionate, and down to earth.

Alongside managing her busy private practice in London, Abby shares informative and accessible content with her community of over 160k followers on Instagram (@therapywithabby). Her content, often achieving viral status, covers a wide array of mental health topics, from anxiety and nervous system health to self-confidence and boundary setting. She also has a popular monthly newsletter that reaches over 10k subscribers. Abby is passionate about helping people reclaim their authentic selves by healing trauma, unsubscribing from hustle culture, and moving towards mind-body alignment.

Dr. Julie Smith has described her as “the therapist we all wish we had,” and Penguin Books praised her for her “invaluable work in democratising therapy.”

In 2024, her debut book, Reclaiming You, was published by Penguin and selected by Fearne Cotton to be part of the prestigious Happy Place Books class of 2024. Abby's authoritative voice regularly graces the pages of reputable publications such as Stylist, Elle, Women's Health, and Psychologies. She has also appeared as an expert on BBC Radio 5 Live and numerous podcasts, including Dirty Mother Pukka, Caggie Dunlop’s Saturn Returns, and Dr. Alex’s Stompcast.

Before training to become a therapist, Abby worked in the media industry for over 15 years, developing brand strategies and marketing campaigns for renowned companies like Burberry, Swarovski, and John Lewis. Abby now combines her marketing expertise with her mental health knowledge, collaborating with esteemed brands to promote their products and services authentically to her engaged audience. Brands such as Boohoo, Waitrose, and This Works have benefited from her unique insights. Abby also offers business coaching to therapists, helping them build and grow their dream businesses.
