About Rachel

Rachel Hoare is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those coping with grief, trauma, low self-esteem or depression. Rachel also supports people dealing with self-harm and young adult issues.

She writes plainly and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and less daunting. Rachel practises ways of working that focus on the person rather than labels.

Background and approach

Sessions are relaxed and centred on what the client wants to achieve. She listens without judgment and helps people find practical steps to feel steadier day to day. She uses client-centred methods to learn what matters most to each person.

This means sessions are led by the client’s priorities and experiences, not a rigid plan. Solution-focused tools are used to set small, realistic goals and notice progress between sessions. Rachel holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She has four years of professional experience, including time in independent practice and work within educational settings. That background means she is used to working with adults at different life stages. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.

Rachel helps people break problems into manageable pieces and build skills that fit their life. She encourages practical steps and honest conversation to move toward clearer thinking and greater confidence.

Approaches that suit online sessions

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s concerns at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely and responds to what matters most to the client, helping them name feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for people who want a space to be heard and to develop their own direction for change.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and visible progress. Sessions look for strengths and past successes to build realistic goals. This style can help when the aim is to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood by making concrete changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift over time toward what proves most helpful for the individual.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel; phone needs less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer typing and want flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to arrange regular contact and keep therapy consistent around everyday life.
