About Rachael
Rachael Foote offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and issues around self-esteem. She also helps people facing grief, loneliness, relationship and intimacy worries, sleep problems, parenting strain, career uncertainty and the challenges of life changes. Rachael is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP status.
She has 13 years of experience in counselling and mental health work.
Background and approach
Rachael believes people know their story best and brings a respectful, non-judgemental approach to sessions. She focuses on listening closely and helping clients spot their existing strengths. Conversations aim to be practical and down to earth, so people leave with steps they can try between sessions.
Her work has included supporting those affected by chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain and disability, as well as people dealing with eating and food-related issues, addiction to drugs or alcohol, domestic violence, dissociation and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns around body image, guilt and shame, infidelity, jealousy and finding life purpose.
In therapy she draws on client-centred thinking alongside cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused techniques. Motivational interviewing is used to help people clarify goals and build the momentum to change. Sessions are tailored to the person and their situation rather than following a fixed script.
Rachael aims to create a calm space for people to talk and make sense of difficult feelings. She supports practical problem solving and helps clients practise new ways of responding to stress and relationship problems. Over time the work is designed to build resilience and a clearer sense of direction.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens openly and helps the individual explore what matters most to them and build on existing strengths. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and gives clear techniques to change them, which is helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Rachael will talk about different options and help decide which methods match the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as people make progress or discover what helps them most.
Online sessions can be more flexible for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a near face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and the chance to reflect in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, medical appointments and caring responsibilities.
