Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people through cancer diagnosis and treatment, domestic violence, and substance-related problems. Her approach is practical and person-focused. Rachael regards each client as the expert on their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on.
Sessions are collaborative and aim to identify small, manageable steps that lead to change. Rachael draws on Client-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural ideas and Motivational Interviewing. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and track progress.
These methods are adapted to each person's situation and concerns. People can expect short, straightforward conversations that focus on what matters now. Rachael offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How Rachael combines talking therapies online
Rachael uses Client-Centred work to focus on each person’s experience and strengths. This approach means conversations are led by the client and the counsellor reflects what matters most to them. It is useful for building trust and exploring feelings around grief, identity and life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is used to spot unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Rachael will talk through options and adapt methods to fit someone’s goals and preferences. She aims to agree practical steps and review progress together as therapy continues.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, short live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping the focus on what people want to change.
