About Rachel
Rachel Andrews offers calm, practical support for people facing day-to-day struggles and deeper problems. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries, grief, addiction and parenting strain. Rachel aims to make sessions straightforward and focused so people can talk and start to feel a little more able to cope.
Rachel uses clear, conversational counselling and structured techniques to help people make sense of distressing thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
She blends client-centred listening with tools drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches to tackle patterns that cause repeated upset. Sessions are paced to each person, with practical steps and reflection between meetings. Her background includes seven years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
That experience includes time supporting adolescents and young adults, as well as adults facing relationship and family difficulties. Rachel aims to build a trusting, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly. She keeps language plain and focuses on small, achievable changes that improve day-to-day life.
The emphasis is on what the person needs now, not on jargon or labels. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, sleep and eating problems, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related coping. People also bring issues around intimacy, career change and compassion fatigue.
Rachel adapts sessions to reflect each person's goals and pace.

How Rachel’s approaches work online
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathetic reflection and helps clarify goals and choices. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to make sense of feelings and situations.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Sessions may include setting small goals, practising new coping skills, and reviewing what helped between meetings. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Rachel will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit you. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you go so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit times with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can work for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or other commitments and let people choose the format that helps them engage most effectively.
