How Rachael works
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her approach begins by listening to the person and mapping out what they want to change. Her sessions are grounded in client‑centred work, where the person’s own goals guide the pace and focus.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical steps to change patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to tackle addiction or make other life changes by building motivation and small, achievable goals. Rachael keeps language plain and sessions pragmatic.
People can expect a collaborative conversation that looks at both feelings and actions. She aims to help clients spot strengths they already have and use those to manage problems day to day. Sessions can look different depending on need: brief solution‑focused conversations for immediate problems or longer work that examines deeper patterns.
Rachael encourages realistic steps and regular reflection to track progress and adapt the plan as needed.

Online support options
How Rachael’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In online sessions this means starting from what matters most to the individual and shaping each meeting around their goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tries small experiments to change unhelpful patterns; this can be used to tackle anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and eating issues via structured online exercises and homework.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will collaborate with the person to decide whether brief, solution‑focused checks or longer CBT and client‑centred work fits best. That choice is reviewed as progress is tracked and goals change.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use face‑to‑face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical treatment or family commitments while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
