She listens openly and responds in a straightforward way to immediate problems. Her practice draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on the person’s experience and priorities in the moment.

How Rachel uses therapy approaches online
Client-centred therapy is about focusing on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens with interest, reflects what is said and follows the person’s lead to build understanding and trust. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It helps people identify patterns that make problems worse and try practical changes, such as testing unhelpful thoughts or building small new routines. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating challenges among other concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and suggest steps that suit their needs. That collaborative process means methods can change as progress occurs or priorities shift.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time or arranging appointments around work or study. It also allows people to choose what feels most comfortable for them before booking. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options when arranging sessions.
