She works with individuals on issues such as low self-esteem, depression, career worries and coping with life changes. Rayner is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years' experience in this work.

She aims to give people time and space to sort their thoughts and feelings without judgement.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping each person notice their own strengths. Rayner treats the person in front of her as the expert in their life and partners with them to find practical next steps. Her counselling style is warm, compassionate and interactive.

She draws on client-centred practice alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas when these are helpful. In sessions she will balance exploring feelings with setting small, achievable goals. Rayner is experienced with blended family issues, caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, social anxiety and workplace problems.

She also supports people facing family problems and the particular pressures of caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The profile describes a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rayner combines person-centred and goal-focused work online

Rayner draws on person-centred practice to create space for people to talk and feel heard. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping the client notice their own strengths and choices. It is useful for grief, low self-esteem and emotional processing.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and workplace stress because it includes practical exercises and short-term tasks.

Solution-focused therapy is another part of her toolkit and concentrates on what a person wants to achieve next. It helps set clear, manageable goals and track small steps towards them, which can be encouraging when someone feels stuck.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Rayner will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then tailor sessions accordingly. Together they decide whether to focus more on listening and reflection, thinking and behaviour work, or goal-focused tasks.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy or geographically distant people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer shorter, written check-ins or need to fit support around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same therapeutic methods online as in-person, while making it easier to fit regular sessions into everyday life.
