Rachel Nash, BACP

Rachel Nash is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience. She offers a calm, accepting space for people who are finding life hard and want to make sense of their feelings. Reaching out can feel daunting and Rachel aims to make that first step easier to take.

Her practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those dealing with grief, eating difficulties and challenges with self-esteem. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs at the time.

Rachel uses an integrative approach, which means she draws on different therapeutic ideas and mixes them to suit the person in front of her. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match what the client feels ready to do. She aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping and build small, practical changes.

She has particular experience working with self-harm, eating disorders, body image concerns and suicidal thoughts, alongside bereavement. That experience informs how she plans sessions and how she responds when people are in distress. Rachel keeps things straightforward and grounded during appointments.

Sessions take place from the United Kingdom and are carried out in English. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they can help online

Rachel describes her work as integrative, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailoring them to each person. One common approach she uses involves guided conversations that help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding; this is useful for anxiety and low mood. Another technique focuses on understanding relationships with food and the body, helping people who struggle with eating difficulties and body image to develop kinder coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She will check in, adapt techniques as progress is made, and invite feedback so the plan stays relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit quieter settings or situations where being on camera is not helpful, depending on the format offered. Registered or accredited professionals aim to use approaches that transfer well to an online setting and to help clients build practical skills that work day to day.
