About Rachel

Rachel Lockwood is a counsellor who centres the person in therapy and lets them set the pace. She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly and explore hard topics. Rachel holds BACP registration, which she maintains while practising in the United Kingdom.

She works integratively and draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed programme.

Background and approach

Rachel listens for the things that are hard to say and helps people name feelings and patterns that get in the way. Her work commonly addresses stress and anxiety, low mood and grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports people facing life changes, career strain, parenting pressures, and long-term health challenges.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and communication problems. Rachel combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods and narrative approaches. Motivational interviewing ideas help when someone wants to change habits or tackle addiction.

Attachment-based thinking is used to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. People can expect a warm, straightforward style and a focus on small, achievable steps. Rachel has five years' experience and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging for people in the UK and internationally.

Ways of working Rachel names

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

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rachel draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and gradually say the things they may have kept inside.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises and small steps to test different ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Attachment-based ideas are used to notice how early relationship patterns affect present reactions. That perspective can help with intimacy, communication and understanding strong emotions in close relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and try different ways of working to find what fits. This collaborative style means the plan can change as needs and progress become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when a shorter contact fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
