Background and approach

The emphasis is on developing a strong working relationship and on helping clients notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Rachel uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships affect current bonds. Client-centred work means sessions are led by the client’s priorities, with the counsellor offering reflection and empathy.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing up change or struggling with ambivalence. They have supported people through issues such as addiction, grief, gender identity concerns, chronic illness and career shifts. Rachel also works with stress, panic and challenges linked to prejudice or discrimination.

The approach is practical and conversational rather than technical. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Rachel accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients who want to work in English.

To begin, the person completes an online matching questionnaire and then books sessions to suit their schedule.

How Rachel’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people understand patterns that affect trust and closeness. It is useful for relationship worries, intimacy issues and coping with loss.

Client-centred therapy means the session follows the person’s priorities and pace, with the counsellor offering reflection and empathy. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to sort out feelings or make decisions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rachel will discuss options and adapt the mix of methods to match the client’s goals and comfort level. The plan can change as progress unfolds so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging supports reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limitations and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
