About Rachel
Rachel Lockwood is a counsellor who puts the client at the centre of the work. She creates a calm space where people can set the pace and say what matters to them. Rachel works in English and brings five years of experience to each conversation.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as exploring patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Rachel commonly helps people with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, and issues around addiction and mood. Her practice pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current struggles. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thinking and on narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories people carry.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants extra help making life changes. Rachel aims to be non-judgemental and warm. She listens for the small, often unspoken concerns and encourages honest conversations about difficult feelings.
People can expect straightforward language and an emphasis on what they want to change. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so practical needs can be matched to the way someone prefers to communicate. Rachel works with adults on a range of issues and accepts international clients.
Working online with attachment and cognitive approaches
Rachel often combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people understand patterns and change unhelpful thoughts. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, trust and relationship problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with simple, practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions can adapt over time so techniques and topics change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can be helpful for ongoing reflection between appointments. These options let people choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort.
