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.

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.
