Rachel Andrews, BACP

Rachel Andrews helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by relationship, family or personal challenges. She greets worries about anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addictions with calm, straightforward support. Her first priority is to make things easier to talk about and to work out practical ways forward together.

She has seven years of experience working in the UK, including considerable time supporting adolescents and young adults. That background means she is used to addressing issues that can come with transitions, study and early careers. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people feel heard and respected.

Her practice blends client-centred principles with cognitive behavioural therapy, tailoring conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now, building helpful habits, and testing small changes between meetings. Rachel pays attention to how daily routines, sleep and relationships affect mood and coping.

People bring many different concerns, from low self-esteem and parenting strain to intimacy questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and practical steps that fit into everyday life. Rachel encourages honest feedback so the work stays relevant.

Her approach is plain and direct. She listens first, then offers options that have helped others with similar problems. If you want straightforward support and a therapist who adapts methods to your situation, Rachel aims to make each session useful and manageable.

How Rachel's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens carefully and follows the person's pace, which can help with feelings of low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. That discussion shapes what happens in sessions and which techniques are tried first.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around study or work, reducing travel time and making it easier to attend regularly. Some people prefer fewer visual demands on the day, or shorter check-ins that suit a busy schedule.
