Background and approach

Her background includes work across mental health settings and experience delivering remote therapy by phone and video. Rachel holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as a credential in her profile. In therapy she blends methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance-focused work to build tolerance for difficult feelings, and attachment-informed ideas to improve relationships.

Sessions aim to be practical and action-orientated while also attending to emotional experience. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor often respond well to Rachel's style. She guides the conversation, offers tools to try between sessions, and reviews progress together.

If you prefer online or phone contact, she has experience delivering therapy remotely and can use those formats.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on small steps that matter. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to shift mood and behaviour, which can help with depression, panic and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That plan can blend different methods and will be reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life, while still using ACT and CBT tools in practical ways.
