About Rachel

Rachel Hamilton BACP offers a person-centred, integrative approach to counselling. She focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship worries, loss and other concerns. Rachel writes plainly and listens closely so conversations stay centred on what matters to each person.

She adapts sessions to individual goals and pace. That means practical talking, gentle reflection and planning small steps that suit daily life. Rachel uses elements from cognitive and emotionally-focused approaches to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Her background includes five years of practice and volunteer work with victim support services. That experience shapes the way she supports people through trauma, emotional abuse and domestic or sexual violence. It also informs work with grief, bereavement and major life changes.

Rachel works with a wide range of concerns including sleep and eating issues, addictions, ADHD, low self-esteem and career-related stress. She also helps people with intimacy and attachment issues, body image, communication problems and caring-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Rachel is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, MBACP, and draws on practical approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, CBT and attachment-focused work to support progress.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes because it teaches small, practical steps to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers straightforward techniques to change them. This can help with low mood, panic, sleep problems and many everyday difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss options during early sessions and try methods that fit the person’s goals and day-to-day life. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to keep, adapt or drop as the work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and learning of new skills. Phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, writing through a problem, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
