About Rachael

Rachael Walker is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She works with adults dealing with relationship worries, grief, parenting strain, trauma and other life changes. Her clear aim is to offer a steady, non-judgemental place to talk and to help people find their own way forward.

Rachael is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has five years of professional experience supporting clients.

Background and approach

She draws on practical methods that suit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on what the client needs right now and on building useful skills for day-to-day life. Her practice combines person-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural methods.

That means she listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Together they try out new ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations. Rachael describes the counselling relationship as a collaboration.

She aims to hold clear boundaries while offering warmth and respect so people feel able to explore painful topics and try different strategies. The goal is increased self-awareness and practical tools for coping. Clients can expect space to make sense of emotions, notice repetitive patterns, and practise new responses.

Over time this can help reduce the hold of old habits and make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Ways of working Rachael names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Rachael’s approaches work online

Rachael uses client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. It helps people talk through feelings, build self-awareness and find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In online work this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small experiments and practising new coping strategies to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative way makes it easier to match techniques to real-life needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when conversation and visual cues help. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging can work for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around busy lives and changing schedules.
