About Rachel
She offers an integrative style that draws on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural methods, psychodynamic thinking, solution-focused tools and trauma-focused work. That mix is chosen to match what matters most to the person in the room. Sessions aim to create a calm space for people to say the things they have been holding in.
Rachel describes therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions gather the practical information needed to shape later work. She pays attention to pace so people can move forward at a speed that feels manageable.
Her practice pays attention to life roles and everyday pressures. She outlines areas she commonly helps with, such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and coping with life changes. Rachel also notes additional focuses like attachment, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, loneliness and workplace concerns.
The aim is to help people relate differently to past events and make different choices for the future. Rachel supports exploration of emotions, practical coping, and steps towards clearer direction. The overall approach seeks to increase confidence and a stronger sense of self.

Approaches
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and creating a non-judgemental space where people can speak freely; it helps when someone needs listening and validation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with practical steps and patterns of thinking and behaviour, useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely addressing distressing memories and supporting recovery from past harm.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss different methods and tailor the plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The decision about which approaches to use is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It also makes seeing a registered or accredited professional possible for people who are not local. Practical matters such as session length and how to meet are arranged when scheduling so they work with everyday life.
