How Rachel's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns and practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and support to help clients find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one way of working. That means checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow conversations to happen from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins on days when a brief conversation helps, or video conversations when seeing facial cues matters more. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make remote work practical and flexible while tailoring pace and techniques to each person.
