Rachel Xuereb, BACP

Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She also supports clients dealing with depression, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Rachel uses a flexible approach to match each person’s needs and preferences. With seven years of experience, she draws on several approaches to help people understand why problems happen and how they persist. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, recognising difficult thoughts or feelings, and finding practical ways to live by chosen values. Rachel emphasises acceptance as a step towards change, and works alongside clients to find what fits their life. Her work includes practical strategies for sleep, anger and career-related stress as well as support around parenting, family difficulties and identity issues including LGBT concerns. She also addresses attachment and abandonment themes that can affect relationships and self-worth. Rachel describes her style as adaptable and client-focused. She listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts methods to suit their pace and aims. Therapy can include talking, reflection and exercises that people can try between sessions. People choosing her service are asked to use the platform’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy and family issues. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s experience, offering a non-judgemental space where the therapist listens and follows the client’s lead to build insight and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on their goals, concerns and what feels useful. That might mean mixing short-term strategies with deeper exploration over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and they sometimes allow shorter check-ins when people need them. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to help people keep continuity of care and practise new skills between meetings.
