About Rachel

Rachel Barrett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She helps clients talk through relationship worries, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Rachel aims to make the first step feel less daunting and meets each person with a calm, non-judgemental presence.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and move towards clearer goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and building simple daily skills. Rachel draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to create steadier responses to distress. Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and communication problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clients who want to clarify values and take manageable action even when feelings are difficult. The overall approach is collaborative - Rachel works alongside each person rather than telling them what to do. With three years of professional experience, she has supported people through grief, anger, life transitions and compassion fatigue.

She also pays attention to concerns such as ADHD, body image, blended family issues and infidelity when these come up in sessions. Rachel offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She encourages prospective clients to take the initial step and complete a short questionnaire to begin the matching process.

How Rachel's approaches work online

Rachel often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working online. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting caught up in them and choose actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns influence current communication and emotion, which can be useful for relationship concerns and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Rachel will talk with each client about their goals, preferences and what's felt unhelpful so far. Together they decide whether to prioritise values-led work, practical thinking strategies, or exploring attachment patterns, and they adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging options make short, frequent contact possible between sessions. These choices give flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
